A 35-year-old man is arrested in South Carolina after police say he left his 6-year-old daughter sleeping and alone outside a Target while he held a place in line for a new Pokémon trading card release. Police say the man admitted he did this to avoid missing the chance to buy the cards.
NBC News reports the arrest in Charleston, South Carolina, and describes the child as asleep outside the store. The other outlets similarly frame the incident as a decision to secure a line spot for Pokémon cards, rather than as a dispute involving the retailer. All coverage centers on police allegations and the arrest, with limited additional detail beyond the basic circumstances.
Taken together, the articles present a single incident: a father arrested after leaving his young daughter outside while waiting for a card release. The context remains largely the same across sources, with differences mainly in how location and minor wording are expressed.
