Police have charged a Jones County daycare center director with reckless conduct after authorities making a surprise regulatory visit found four children walking home.
MACON, GA. (AP) -- Jones County Sheriff's Office investigator Kenny Gleaton says authorities charged 36-year-old Lavern Stubbs. She was released on $4,000 bond Monday.
Gleaton says a motorist told police she spotted four very young children walking down the road Monday morning. He says she stopped, put the children into her car and road to a gas station to call for help.
Authorities allege Stubbs told the children - ages 6 through 11 - to walk home after she feared a state inspector on a surprise visit would deem her center over capacity.
The siblings live about 15 miles away. A woman who answered a phone number listed for Stubbs Tuesday said she did not live there.
