A former NFL linebacker has been arrested in Florida after he left a toddler in a car while he visited a strip club.
Monty Ray Grow, who has played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, left the three-year-old girl locked in the parking lot of a car dealership in Tampa Bay and popped into the Diamond Dolls erotic nightclub on Sunday night.
Police said she was found by her mother and grandparents more than 40 minutes later after they used GPS to track her down.
By the time Grow returned from the club they had taken the girl away, replaced by waiting officers.
It is unclear exactly how long the toddler was in the car but police said her mother tracked her down at 9.09pm, arrived to pick her up six minutes later before Grow emerged from the club at 9.48pm.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said Grow, of Redington Beach, was charged with child abuse Sunday night and was later released on $5,000 bail.
It would not reveal his relationship to the little girl, saying only that he was supposed to be caring for her.
