WESLACO, TX
Robert Lopez, 43, is charged with abandonment and endangerment
of a child. He was arrested Wednesday after employees of Marines
Bakery & Cake Shoppe said he entered the shop with the girl, put
her in a car seat, placed his order then left without buying
anything. He had drug paraphernalia with him when arrested and
faces "intoxication on something other than alcohol" charges,
police say.
Lopez was in the Hidalgo County Jail on Friday, and it was
unclear if he had an attorney who could comment on his case.
Texas Child Protective Services will determine where the child
will be placed because both parents have a history of drug arrests,
police say.
