‘Drunk’ mom ‘dumped baby with full diaper in bar where staff refused to serve her’
Alicyn De Santis, 30, was refused alcohol by staff at the bar just before she passed her baby off and left.
An ‘extremely drunk’ dumped her baby who needed an urgent diaper changer in a bar after its staff refused to serve her, police say.
Alicyn De Santis, 30, was arrested on Sunday after she passed the youngster around Outtakes Bar and Grill in New Hope, Minnesota then exited without her child.
Bar staff called police and told authorities that De Santis had come from another bar where she had been kicked out for being too drunk.
When she got to Outtakes Bar, which is in a movie theater, employees refused to serve her any alcohol, so she handed her baby off to strangers then left, a criminal complaint says.
Employees stepped in and took care of the child, who was left with a ‘very full diaper’ and a De Santis’ bag, according to the Star Tribune.
Bar staff changed the baby’s diaper and fed the child from a bottle.
Eventually, De Santis returned, but ‘did not notice that her baby was gone’ or even ask about the child’s location, police said.

Officers arrived and arrested De Santis, who reportedly admitted that she was drunk and said she had been treated for alcohol abuse.
She was charged on Tuesday with gross-misdemeanor child neglect and is being held in jail in lieu of $6,000 bail.
De Santis is set to appear in court on Wednesday and her baby was released to a family member.
