FAIRFAX CITY
Two Charged With Heat-Related Crimes
Fairfax City police have charged two people in heat-related incidents, including one in which an infant boy was left inside a locked car last week, police said yesterday.
The first incident occurred June 3 in the parking lot of the Patriot Harley-Davidson store at 9739 Fairfax Blvd., when someone noticed an unattended baby about 1 p.m. Records show the outside temperature was 82 degrees. Police were called and with the help of store employees unlocked the vehicle and took the 4-month-old inside. The baby's grandfather, James R. Trew, 75, of Burke, was charged Monday with felony neglect and abuse of a child.
On Tuesday, when a heat advisory was in effect, a Fairfax City officer noticed a dog inside a van parked next to the Lifetime Fitness gym, 9602 Main St., about 2:30 p.m. A boy then approached the van and removed the 8-month-old cocker spaniel, police said. An animal control officer reported that the temperature was 94 degrees -- and 118 degrees inside the van. The dog's owner, Natasha Casimir, 33, of Lemoyne, Quebec, was issued a misdemeanor summons for providing inadequate shelter.
