Authorities in South Carolina have arrested 35-year-old John-Michael Dooley after local police officers discovered his six-year-old daughter sleeping unattended outside a Target retail establishment during the early morning hours.
According to official statements from law enforcement, the minor was found at approximately 2:30 a.m. resting on the ground with only a pillow and a blanket. Investigating officers determined that Dooley had left his young daughter outside the store premises to hold his position in line for the release of a new Pokémon trading card series while he temporarily returned home.
Concerned bystanders and customers waiting outside the venue noticed that the child had been left completely unsupervised. After roughly one hour passed without the parent returning to the location, individuals at the scene contacted emergency dispatch to alert local authorities about the vulnerable minor.
Police officers dispatched to the commercial address located the child and initiated an immediate investigation. Upon Dooley's subsequent return to the Target storefront, law enforcement personnel promptly placed him under arrest.
Following the police intervention, officials confirmed that the six-year-old girl was unharmed during the incident. State child protective services were notified, and the child was placed into state custody to ensure her immediate welfare and safety. Law enforcement authorities confirmed that John-Michael Dooley has been formally charged with unlawful conduct toward a child as legal proceedings move forward.
