A Nevada man is facing charges after he and his two children were found suffering from the effects of scorching heat in a vehicle in the desert, according to an arrest report.
Brian Laugeson’s children – a boy and a girl whose ages were not released – were going in and out of consciousness when they were found by Henderson Police Department officers Monday. The temperature was 105 degrees, the arrest report states. Dangerously high temperatures that have proven deadly in multiple states are expected to remain for several more days, forecasters say.
Laugeson and the children were hospitalized. A court-ordered blood test indicated that Laugeson “had ingested illegal narcotics,” the arrest report states. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree child abuse or neglect with substantial bodily harm. Court records do not list an attorney for Laugeson.
