PHOENIX — Two Phoenix firefighters are facing felony child abuse charges after being accused of leaving their child in a car late last year.
It all happened in a parking lot in front of 5.11 Tactical, where someone ended up calling 911.
Court documents show Charles Boggiano and Jacqueline Arnold are accused of leaving their child by themselves in their vehicle in September 2023.
Someone who was near the store, located near SR-51 and Thomas Road, called 911 after seeing the child inside the car.
The Phoenix Police Department tells ABC15 they conducted an investigation and submitted the case to the county attorney.
Boggiano and Arnold were firefighters with the Phoenix Fire Department, until the department told ABC15 they were placed on administrative leave pending this investigation. We are working to find out if both are still with the department.
