Elliut Gonzalez, an Orange County, Florida man, was booked into jail on child neglect charges after allegedly leaving his daughter in the car while he went into a strip club.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the Orange County Sheriff's Office arrested Gonzalez around 1 a.m. at the Diamond Club on Semoran Boulevard.

Police say that the seven year old, who was spotted sleeping alone by a passerby, had been in the car by herself for at least 50 minutes. Once deputies found out who owned the car they asked the club's employees to help track the man down.

"They provided us information as to how long he'd be in there, along with actually paging him to have him come out," Lt. Paul Hopkins told local news source WFTV.

Police added that Gonzalez had stopped at the strip club to avoid going home, because of an argument with his girlfriend.
