An Upstate man left two kids in a hot car at Walmart and then asked for officers to put the air conditioning on as he was placed in the patrol car, according to an incident report.

Police were called about young children being locked inside a car, the report said.

The responding officer said his vehicle's outside temperature gage read 91 degrees at the time.

When the officer arrived he said firefighters were standing near the car with two witnesses and a Walmart security employee.

The report said two small children were sitting in the back of the vehicle but the windows were down by this time.

At this time the suspect, Deston Worthy, told officers he was only in the store for five minutes, the report said.

The report said witnesses reported Worthy had been in Walmart for approximately an hour.

The witnesses told officers they heard the kids yelling from the vehicle and walked over to check on them.

They said that the kids complained of being thirsty and so the witnesses provided them with drinks, according to the report.

The report said Worthy laughed and made light of the situation.

The officer wrote in the report that Worthy tried to make excuses while he left the children in the car, including the fact the children did not have shoes.

He also said that the children's mother said they would be fine in the car, the report said. The mother of the children arrived and took custody of the children, the report said.

Officers said Worthy asked for air conditioning as they were putting his legs in the patrol car.

They said Worthy also complained of heart pain as he suffers from an irregular heartbeat.

EMS was called out and he was cleared, the report said.

Haha Spartanburg Walmart!

It is apparently the hangout for losers who are known to make the national news with their stupid shit.

Spartanburg Walmart was the location where the Conspicuous Covid Cougher Christopher Kyle Arendell made the news, with going around and intentionally coughing on items, making for a viral video (in more ways than one), and getting arrested and taken to jail later.

If he is two warm, knock a couple of extra vents in the top of his skull to let the heat out.
I will get my hammer and blacksmith punch.

His hour is like 5 minutes? Only in his mind, the children were miserable! It’s a good thing that people saw them. He is useless! “Oh I’m hot and my heart hurts, “ BooHoo!
