Mom leaves baby in car while at a bar

Police arrested a woman they said left her baby in her car while drinking at a St. Paul bar on Sunday, the Pioneer Press said.
Heather Marie Anderson, 23, reportedly went into El Alamo bar to celebrate her friend's birthday, WCCO said. Witnesses say the bartender told her she could not bring in the 3-month-old girl, WCCO said. Anderson was seen placing the baby in her car and going back into the bar, the Pioneer Press said.
Howie Padilla, a police spokesperson, was told by a patron Anderson took at least one shot of alcohol, the Pioneer Press said. The patron saw Anderson leave and try to drive away. The patron tried to stop her, reportedly upsetting her, the Pioneer Press said.
Officers were called to the scene and saw Anderson driving away. They stopped her and arrested her on suspicion of child endangerment, the Pioneer Press said.
Anderson called her family and they came to pick up the child, WCCO said.
Anderson remains in the Ramsey County jail while the case is being reviewed, the Pioneer Press said.
