Two adults arrested after three children found alone in a car in Hollywood
Lillian Mun and Terrence Wright were detained after the children were found unsupervised in a vehicle parked beside Seminole Classic Casino.
A couple was arrested in Hollywood, Florida, after three children were found alone inside a car in the parking lot of Seminole Classic Casino. Police sources said the children were unsupervised while the adults were inside the establishment. The case involves Lillian Mun and Terrence Wright, who face charges connected with the children's care and their time in the vehicle.
The children were found in the vehicle, described as a Jeep, in the casino's north parking lot. According to police sources, they were alone and sweating. The couple allegedly remained inside the establishment for approximately one hour while the children stayed in the vehicle. The discovery occurred in Hollywood and led to the arrest of both adults.
Mun is 32 and Wright is 42. The allegations they face include child neglect and leaving minors unsupervised in a vehicle. Those charges relate to the circumstances in which the three children were found. The evidence provided does not establish the outcome of a judicial proceeding, so the accusations are not equivalent to a finding of guilt.
The couple was arrested on a Sunday, and both appeared before a judge on Monday. At the hearing, the judge denied bond for Mun. For Wright, by contrast, the judge set bond at $22,500. The decisions differed for each defendant and are the known facts about the measures adopted during that appearance.
The case combines police action after the children were found with charges over their alleged lack of supervision. The couple had been located inside the casino while the minors remained in the car parked on the property. Police information also places the discovery in the north parking lot of Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood.
