A Florida woman was caught shoplifting at a mall when her car suddenly caught on fire with her children inside. The incident has resulted in her being accused of aggravated child neglect and arson, according to a recent arrest report.
According to the report submitted by the Oviedo Police Department, Alicia Moore, 24, had her vehicle parked in a lot outside of a Dillard’s department store at the Oviedo Mall on May 26th.
Moore had left her children in the car, according to the complaint. The names of the children and their ages have been redacted in the paperwork.
According to allegations made by mall employees, Moore and an unidentified man were caught shoplifting at Dillard’s by mall security. After approximately an hour, Moore started to leave Dillard’s, and as she was walking out, she saw her car engulfed in flames.
Thankfully, onlookers at the mall noticed the car fire and were able to save the children inside who were trying to flee from the flames. The kids were swiftly taken to the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.
One child had first-degree burns “to her face and ears,” according to the arrest report.
Moore has now been charged with aggravated child neglect for leaving her children alone inside the automobile, the report said. Police claimed that they were still not sure how the fire started, but added that if Moore “was not being neglectful,” it’s highly doubtful the kids would have been hurt. The arrest report also additionally noted that Moore was charged with arson, since the fire started while she was allegedly committing a crime.
Moore is now being represented by the public defender’s office, according to court documents.
On Saturday, a comment-request email was sent to the office, however, it was not promptly answered.
Moore had a $40,000 bail set. On Friday, a public defender submitted a motion requesting that Moore be freed without posting bail or that it be done so “to a reasonable and affordable amount.”
