DALLAS - A North Texas father left his two children alone in the car for 90 minutes while he visited a Dallas strip club last week, police said.
Michael Galloway, 36, is charged with child endangerment for allegedly leaving his 9-month-old and 3-year-old children alone in a car with the windows rolled up and the doors locked late Friday night.
His vehicle was parked near Pandora's Men's Club at 10600 Harry Hines Blvd. A tow truck driver noticed it and discovered the children inside, police said.
Galloway initially told investigators he was inside the club only 20 minutes, but witnesses said they had seen him drinking for an hour.
Officers arrested him around midnight. The arrest report indicates he had alcohol on his breath.
The Department of Children and Families released the children to Galloway's wife.
The McKinney resident faces two counts of child endangerment with intent to return, and has bail set at $10,000.
