BRISTOL — When police sent a drunk and sleeping woman to the hospital from a Farmington Avenue bar on Friday night, they had no idea her 2-year-old daughter was in a car in the parking lot.

But that's where they found the girl after 5 a.m., asleep in a car seat inside the locked 2014 Jeep Patriot, police said.

The woman, 22-year-old Kelsey James of 38 Skyview Terrace in Bristol, had been intoxicated and asleep inside City Sports at 177 Farmington Ave., according to Bristol police.

Police weren't able to get any information from her at all, said Lt. Mark Moskowitz. So emergency medical workers brought James to Bristol Hospital around midnight.

Then at 5:20 a.m., the hospital called police, saying James was asking where her daughter was. Police went to City Sports and found the girl asleep in a car seat in the back of the car.

She was frightened, Moskowitz said, with all the police and emergency workers around, but she was in good condition.

The girl was brought to Bristol Hospital for evaluation and is being held there for the Department of Children and Families.

James is charged with risk of injury to a minor and leaving an unsupervised child in a motor vehicle. She posted $50,000 bail and is due in court on Sept. 2.
