POST FALLS, Idaho (AP) _ A Post Falls couple has been charged
with misdemeanor injury to a child after police say they left their
5-month-old baby in a car during a trip to Wal-Mart.

Mark Keinholz, 42, and Traci Jurasin, 35, were charged
Wednesday. Post Falls police Lt. Pat Knight said the baby boy did
not have heat exhaustion but was placed in a Health and Welfare
shelter after the incident.

Knight said the couple have five children and told police that
each thought the other parent was carrying the baby. A shopper
called police after hearing the baby crying inside the unlocked car
with rolled-down windows.
