A Tennessee stripper was arrested after she left her young daughter inside a hot car while she sashayed on stage, police said.
Kelsey McMurtry, 24, asked her friend, 19-year-old Summer Taylor, to watch the tot Thursday afternoon while she danced dirty at the Deja Vu Showgirls club in Nashville, according to police.
But Taylor ditched the 14-month-old child in a Chrysler PT Cruiser, with the windows rolled up, and went to watch her friend perform inside the jiggle joint.
When police arrived and found the child in the car all alone, they pulled McMurtry outside and had her remove the girl from the vehicle. The toddler was wearing a “medium to heavy coat and was drenched in sweat,” according to an arrest affidavit.
Witnesses told police the child was left alone for at least 30 minutes.
Police found the mom and her friend inside the Deja Vu Showgirls club in Nashville.
At the time, police said it was 72 degrees outside, meaning the temperature inside the car would have climbed to 106 degrees.
The little girl was transported to the hospital and taken into custody by the Department of Children’s Services.
Summer Taylor, 19, was supposed to be watching the toddler but instead left to watch her friend perform, cops said.
McMurtry, who had an outstanding warrant, initially gave police a fake name.
She’s since been hit with a felony charge of child neglect of a child 8 or less, criminal impersonation and the outstanding charge of no driver’s license. She’s held on a $40,000 bond.
Taylor was also charged with felony child neglect of a child 8 or less. She’s held on $10,000 bond.
Both women are due in court Monday afternoon.
