A Lake County man was arrested when an unattended child in his care was found trying to get into a pool at an apartment complex.
An officer responded to a call regarding an unattended child, later found to be in the care of 20-year-old Michael Anthony Fullard, at an undisclosed apartment complex in Lady Lake on Wednesday, Aug. 27, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. The child was trying to get into the locked pool but was found by the community director of the property.
A resident of the complex recognized the child belonged to a neighbor who was called to the front office. She stated Fullard was left to temporarily supervise when she left for work at 7:15 a.m., which was common for them, the report said.
The resident also shared a front door area with the neighbor, and she accessed her Blink doorbell camera to send videos of movement at the front door. The videos created a timeline for that day, with the first being 7:30 a.m. when Fullard walked children to a bus stop. At 10:51 a.m., the resident told Fullard the “baby” was at the pool. Fullard left the apartment with pink bags of his belongings at 11:54 a.m., the report said…
