EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

A 19-year-old Evansville man is in jail on child neglect charges.

Evansville Police say Charles A. Brown is accused of leaving two small children alone in a locked apartment.

Investigators say the mother told them Brown is the father of the two-month-old and 18-month-old and was supposed to be taking care of them.

The mother says when she was at work, she saw Brown take the bicycle she had ridden to work.

She says she went to the apartment to check on the children and called 911 because the door was locked. Brown was later arrested.
