TAMPA, Fla. -- A Florida dad is in jail, after he allegedly left his kids in a pickup truck while he visited a strip club.

Police in Tampa say Olvin Pabon paid a $20 cover at the Deja Vu bar, and spent about 20 minutes inside. A security guard outside heard crying and found the four children in the pickup truck.

Security officers and several patrons blocked Pabon's pickup truck until police arrived.

He's charged with four counts of child neglect. Pabon claims he just stopped to use the strip club's restroom and only left the children for about 10 minutes.

The kids, ranging in age from 1 to 8, are now staying with Pabon's sister-in-law.

Idiot!
Everyone knows you should leave them in an SUV or a minivan when you go in to see strippers.

No mention of the mother(s) of Olvin's kids.

I was at home caring for the babies while Mrs Wardaddy was at Chippendales sticking 100s down the slingshot of some stud muffin who was probably gay anyhow...

Dunno.

I here ya. I keep expecting a Keno/poker/day care establishment. Seriously, I didn't expect the gas station/strip club. It was funny to see these big holes in the ground where Sinclair had yanked the pumps out.

This guy is screwed.
If he was a lesbian mom, he could use the old "irresistable impulse"
excuse...and probably get acquited.
And a movie+book deal.
And played by Ms. Garofolo.

(My real opinion...into the clink, no matter the gender of the parent involved)

[Howlin]

A likely story.

[byteback]

Honest officer, I thought this was where I go vote for Gore.

[hellinahandcart]

anybody think he'd have been charged if he spent 20 minutes in a grocery store instead of 20 minutes in a strip club?

Of course not, because the kids would have been with him in the grocery store.

Whereas, they're not allowed in titty bars.

.........and I'm sticking to it.

[Lockbar]

Sounds like Klinton without a B.S. law degree.

[wimpycat]

Whereas, they're not allowed in titty bars.

So he has a valid excuse, then.

What kind of father do you think I am, officer? You can't expect me to take my dear children into a fleshpot. So I did the decent thing. I left them out in the truck.

Is Freddies still there on 90/93 out there in Frenchtown?

Within a few miles of my house there is a gun shop/vacuum cleaner repair business and an Apostolic Holiness Church/Military Supply...

I just knew you live in the South.
