Bryan Bolds
A Tacony man was arrested at Parx Casino last week after abandoning his 7-year-old son in the parking lot for several hours while the father was inside playing blackjack, according to Bensalem Township police.
Bryan Bolds, 32, of the 4200 block of Passmore St., was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. According to police, Bolds arrived at a gaming table shortly after 3:30 p.m. on March 10, leaving his son unattended in a car outside. Eventually, a passer-by heard the child crying and screaming for his father, so the witness called police.
Officers arrived at the scene, retrieved the child and took him to the Bensalem police station. Police did not say how long the boy was alone. Local and state police returned to the casino and found Bolds at the blackjack table shortly before 6:30 p.m. ••
