GOSHEN — A Middletown father was charged with endangering the welfare of his children after he left his 1- and 3-year-old sons strapped in his car while he drank inside a Goshen bar, police said.
Gregory Olsen, 41, had his 5-year-old daughter with him in Delancy’s but had left the boys outside when Orange County sheriff’s deputies found them there about 3:45 p.m. Thursday, said Capt. Dennis Barry of the sheriff’s office.
The deputies were helping someone who’d locked his keys in his car when a passerby alerted them to the two young boys, who had been left alone.
The boys were crying and looked disoriented but were otherwise OK, Barry said.
Olsen was not intoxicated, Barry said.
Deputies issued him a ticket to appear in court and notified county Child Protective Services.
