MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — A local 6-month-old boy remained hospitalized in Macon Thursday after being left unattended in a vehicle for several hours in Milledgeville Monday. 

Around 2:30 p.m. Milledgeville Police officer David Descoteaux responded to an apartment in the 2400 block of Brantley Way in reference to a call for medical assistance, according to an incident report from the Milledgeville Police Department. As Descoteaux was en route to the location, he received information from Baldwin County dispatchers that the baby’s grandmother, whose name was not released, was rushing the boy to Oconee Regional Medical Center. 

After hearing that the child had already been removed from the vehicle, Descoteaux went to ORMC and talked with the baby’s grandmother. Although doctors were able to stabilize the baby, they decided to transfer him to the Navicent Health Center in Macon. 

In a Wednesday press release issued by MPD, there was no mention of anyone having been arrested in connection to the incident. Police said the infant had been left unattended in the car for more than five hours. 

Monday’s high in the Milledgeville area was in the lower 80s with a heat index around 82 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City.

Repeated attempts by The Union-Recorder to get a medical condition on the baby failed by presstime Thursday.
