HENRY COUNTY, Va. – Authorities charged a 62-year-old woman after someone broke a car window Monday morning in an effort to save a baby locked inside a car in a Walmart parking lot, according to the Henry County Sheriff's Office.

No description found

Francis Cabiness Kissee, 62, of Martinsville, was charged with one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

At 11:33 a.m., authorities received a 911 call about the infant locked in the car.

This incident remains under investigation.
