According to court documents, apartment maintenance workers arrived at Farris’ apartment on 7th Street north of Bell Road and found the baby in a stroller with Farris nowhere to be found.
Police said it was 91 degrees inside the apartment, and the girl did not have access to food or water.
Officers were then called, and they said they waited about two hours, but Farris still had not returned to the apartment. It’s unclear how long the baby was left alone before the workers arrived.
The girl was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Farris arrived at the hospital, where he was arrested, police said.
He was booked into jail and his bond was set at $25,000.
