A person is in jail after an infant was found walking down a Peoria County highway. Peoria County Sheriff Chris Watkins says deputies learned that a two-year-old child was walking down the middle of Harmon Highway just after 1:00 a.m. Saturday.
Watkins says it took a parent about an hour to realize the child was gone. Kassandro Zombro, 31, was arrested on a charge of Child Endangerment, and taken to jail. The child was evaluated at a local hospital before being taken into Department of Children and Family Services custody.
