A southeast Iowa man faces multiple charges after allegedly falling asleep and failing to supervise his two kids, who crossed a street unattended.
26-year-old John Heasley of Chillicothe was charged with two counts of child endangerment, an aggravated misdemeanor.
On September 7th at 6:00 PM, court records say Heasley’s two minor children left their home on the 100 block of High Street in Chillicothe and crossed a public roadway in order to enter a property across the street. The Wapello County Sheriff’s Office says Heasley was asleep when this incident occurred.
