Johnson City police say a mother already on probation for attempted child neglect has been charged with leaving her 3-year-old barricaded in a bedroom while she went to a bar. Officer Sarah Wright says she responded to a complaint early
Friday morning and found the little girl asleep in her bed but
barricaded inside by a chair full of clothes. Police say 22-year-old Meghan A. Minneman was located at a bar and charged with child abuse and child neglect. She was being held
on $5,000 bond. Last month, Minneman pleaded guilty to attempted child neglect after the girl was found wandering the neighborhood alone. She was placed on unsupervised probation.
