Police in Texas arrested a woman after she locked herself and her ten-year-old son inside of her truck while temperatures soared past 100 degrees. Authorities said Adriane Grace Moss appeared to be drunk when they arrived after her son called 911 to report that he was locked inside of his mother's 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. While on the phone with police the boy asked his mother to roll down the windows but she refused.
When officers arrived, they found the temperature inside of the car was 123 degrees and the boy and his mother both had "sweaty and matted hair." The boy told police he was locked in the car for about one hour before they arrived.
Moss was taken into custody and released on a $15,000 bond. She faces charges of child endangerment.
