Three individuals from Texas found themselves in a troubling situation when police caught them jaywalking and discovered they had left a baby unattended in their vehicle while they were out enjoying a night of bar-hopping.

The trio, identified as Gabrielle Aleman, 22, Isaiah Calvo, 25, and Jaslyn Tovar, 21, spent the evening of December 15th visiting bars in Downtown Austin, Texas. Their night took a turn when police officers stopped them for crossing the street outside of the designated crosswalk. According to documents reviewed by Law&Crime, the Austin Police Department nearly collided with the group, who seemed unaware of their surroundings. All three reportedly ignored police instructions to step aside, and Aleman and Tovar allegedly resisted arrest by physically confronting the officers.

Once the group was detained, authorities received a call from Aleman’s aunt. She informed them that Aleman’s 11-month-old child had been left in a car parked in a “high-crime area.” This information was confirmed by court records obtained by the local ABC station KVUE.

Officers reported that Aleman and Calvo showed signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, the smell of alcohol, glassy and bloodshot eyes, and a lack of balance. When police attempted to arrest Aleman, she reportedly exclaimed, “Dude, hell nah,” before attempting to flee. Officers pursued her for about 20 feet before they managed to subdue and handcuff her.

Tovar, on the other hand, allegedly resisted by thrashing on the ground as officers tried to restrain her. Meanwhile, Calvo remained seated on the curb.

At no point during their arrests did any of the three suspects mention that they brought a baby with them.

According to court documents related to the child abandonment charges, all three suspects were in the Travis County Jail when Aleman’s aunt called the department at 1:09 a.m. to notify police that Aleman’s 11-month-old son was still in the car. Local CBS affiliate KEYE also obtained the court documents, which stated that when a detective asked Aleman about the baby while she was sitting in jail, she said the baby was with her sister in a neighboring town.

Police found the baby at 1:23 a.m. in a locked, parked car, where officers were met by a concerned citizen who spotted the baby inside. According to the affidavit, the baby was pinned under the front passenger seat and trapped in a “dangerous degree of positional stress” resulting from an unsecured car seat. As the outside temperature dropped to 36 degrees Fahrenheit, police said the baby was not dressed appropriately for the winter weather. The baby was taken to the hospital, but was not injured.

When police questioned the three suspects while they were in jail, they said they planned to monitor the baby through FaceTime while they hit the bars. Police said surveillance videos captured the suspects visiting bars on Sixth Street from 9:56 p.m. until they were arrested at 11:42 p.m.

Aleman, Calvo, and Tovar were all charged with child abandonment/endangerment with imminent danger of bodily injury or death and traffic-related misdemeanors. None of them was listed as an active inmate on Tuesday. Calvo and Tovar are scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 9, 2026; Aleman on Jan. 16, 2026.
