The following comes to us from The Inclusion Daily Express. I think it requires little by way of editorial preface save to say that I wonder what Mr. Fleming was having for lunch?

September 21, 2009
FREDERICK, MARYLAND– [Excerpt] Frederick police arrested a man on suspicion of leaving three blind and deaf adults locked in a car while he ate at the Mountain View Diner on Sunday.
Officers arrested Brian T. Fleming, 47, of Fairfield, Pa., after they arrived at the diner on West Patrick Street.
Patrons at the diner called police to report three mentally challenged people were left locked in a parked vehicle with the windows almost rolled up and in direct sunlight, police said.
Police said the adults inside the vehicle appeared to be hot and in distress, so they called an ambulance to provide care. Officers were able to open the car door so heat inside could escape.
