A Linn County man accused of leaving a child alone in a vehicle at the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort has reached a plea deal.
39-year-old Enzo Morales of Cedar Rapids is charged with Child Endangerment. Just before 12:45 on the afternoon of April 22nd the reporting caller claimed the child had been alone inside a running vehicle for well over an hour. A deputy had to unlock the vehicle to get to the child, then called for medical attention.
Washington County dispatch records do not indicate the age of the child or whether Morales was gambling inside the facility or was there for other business.
If convicted, Morales would have faced a maximum sentence of two years in jail. But online records show Morales reached plea deal with prosecutors earlier this week. Details of the deal are not listed on online records. A plea hearing and sentencing date will be set in the next 30 days.
