A Nebraska woman is facing a child abuse charge after allegedly leaving her 3-month-old baby in a hot car as she was horseback riding at a county fair.

Cara Dugan, 40, was arrested at the Merrick County Fairgrounds on Aug. 24 after authorities responded to a call that an infant had been left in a pickup truck with the engine off and window partially open, the Merrick County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. 

Dugan was found inside a building riding a horse as it was around 90 degrees outside, according to the sheriff’s office.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
