BROOKFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A Brookfield man has pleaded guilty after being charged child endangering for a second time in less than three years.

Police said they were trying to rouse someone in the apartment when Wells arrived, claiming he had only been gone about five or ten minutes.

When the officer asked if Wells if he knew why it was not acceptable to leave a five and one-year-old home alone, the police report said he replied "no."

Wells will be sentenced on the endangering children charge after a presentence investigation.
