CONSTABLES ARREST MOTHER WHO LEFT HER THREE YOUNG CHILDREN HOME ALONE FOR AN HOUR
On April 30, 2023, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office responded to the 4500 block of Tealgate Drive in reference to three small children who were reported to have been left alone at the single-family home. Upon arriving, deputies located the children, ages one, three, and six, with no parent, adult or any other person capable of taking care of them present. The oldest child could not demonstrate an ability to care for himself, let alone his smaller siblings.
Neighbors witnessed the mother, identified as Arielle Allen leave the residence in a vehicle, leaving all three children behind, at the home alone.
She returned to the home approximately one hour after deputies arrived, at which time she was apprehended. Child Protective Services were contacted and advised the facts of the case. They authorized the release of the children to their grandmother, who arrived on scene.
"Arielle Allen was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Child Endangerment. Her bond was set at $2,500.00 out of the 262nd District Court." - Constable Mark Herman
