Description: Louise Henderson Carringer walks into jail after police officers find her seven-year-old daughter, Linda Carringer, asleep alone in a car. Linda was sleeping in a vehicle with her dog Butch when a concerned citizen telephoned the police to notify them that the child had been sleeping in the car for the past three nights. Officers Clyde Giroux and D.R. Lynch took the child and dog to the Wilshire Police Station and left a note in the car. Several hours later, Louise Henderson Carringer walked into the police station to claim the child. She stated they had been sleeping in the car because they were homeless. Mrs. Carringer was charged with child neglect and booked at the city jail in Lincoln Heights Station.
