[December 05, 2007]  LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (AP) -- Deputies said a man left his 3-month-old baby home alone for six hours while he robbed a grocery store. Police said Tony Doden and his accomplice, James Schmidt, were arrested after their getaway car was spotted by a witness.

A teenage employee told police a man wearing a Halloween-style "Jason" mask robbed them at gunpoint and then took off.

Deputies said Doden had left his son at home to fend for himself while he and Schmidt robbed the store.

The child's mother was arrested in October.

Police say the baby was found with a severe case of diaper rash. Doden's grandmother is now taking care of the baby.
