A Wright City man is charged with neglect of a child after his 3-year-old son was found alone outside of Abel’s Quick Shop in Wright City.Customer Shawn Gammon told police that he had stopped for fuel around 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 30, when he noticed the child crying in the grass next to the Interstate 70 North Service Road, according to Wright City Police. Gammon and another man, Thomas Trapp, stayed with the child until law enforcement arrived.Trapp reportedly had recently spoken with the child’s father, Brian R. Capstick, and was trying to resolve the issue. After about 20 minutes, Gammon contacted the police.According to Wright City police, the child was found about 30 feet from the road, close enough to be a risk to the child’s safety.About an hour later, police made contact with the child’s mother, who came to the scene. She told police that she contacted Capstick at the same time and that he did not know the child’s location when she spoke to him.Capstick is now charged with neglect of a child, a Class D felony that could result in one to seven years of prison time if he is convicted. He was arrested May 31 and posted a $5,000 bond the same day.He has a hearing scheduled June 14 at the Warren County Circuit Court.Brian R. Capstick
