A Union woman was arrested after she allegedly left three young children in a car while she went to use a tanning bed.
April Lynn Hudson, 25, 112 Pinewood Drive, Union, is charged by the Union Public Safety Department with unlawful conduct toward a child.
The incident report states an officer was dispatched Monday afternoon to 719 N. Duncan Bypass, Union, in reference to two small children in a vehicle with no adult present.

The report states the officer then spoke to two employees of the Tanning Salon who said that when she’d entered the building, Hudson had been advised it would be a 15-20 minute wait before she a tanning bed would be available. Both women said Hudson remained in the salon for 15-20 minutes before entering a tanning bed. They said they believed Hudson was in the bed for 10-11 minutes before one of them turned it off. The employee said she turned it off when a woman brought a young girl in looking for Hudson. She said Hudson was then advised she was needed outside. Both employees estimated that Hudson had been inside without the children for approximately 30-40 minutes.
The officer then spoke with Hudson again, telling her she was under arrest for unlawful conduct toward a child. Hudson was then transported to jail.
The report states the officer also spoke with the complainant who said she’d observed two small children in the grey Honda as she walked by. She said another woman also observed the children and told her that Hudson was in the tanning bed. The woman she used her cellphone to call 911. After finishing the call, the complainant said she observed an older child come out of the Tanning Salon and was advised by the other woman that the child had also been in the vehicle but had gotten out, triggering the car alarm. The complainant said the child had approached her and asked if she’d called the police and then started to cry. She said when Hudson came out of the salon she walked to a nearby store to avoid a confrontation.
The report states the children were placed in the custody of relatives who the officer advised of the incident. The Department of Social Services advised that they would initiate a follow-up investigation.
