Two Florida men have been arrested after they allegedly told police they had stopped looking for a lost 5-year-old boy in their care who ran off and was later located as he was about to wander into a busy street.

Craig Darnell Presley, 52, and Chadrick Rodell Smith Jr., 27, were taken into custody over the weekend and charged with one count each of neglect of a child without great bodily harm, court records show.

Officers responding to a call near an apartment complex on Sept. 7 spotted an unaccompanied child walking toward a busy street, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime. A group of nearby teens who did not know the child assisted the officers in recovering the boy, who they said was pulled back from the road "just prior to a vehicle driving by."
