The Colorado State Patrol says it has taken action against the trooper who left an infant and a 15-year-old girl in a car alone when he arrested a woman after a traffic stop.

Patrol officials say they can't release any additional information regarding Trooper Jeffrey Verbas because it's a personnel matter.

A Keio Saupauia says Verbas arrested her on a 10-year-old warrant for a dog violation shortly after pulling her over at about 11 p.m. on April 28.

Verbas called Saupauia's sister to pick up her seven-month-old daughter and 15-year-old niece who were with her Saupauia but allegedly did not wait. The two were unattended in her car for about 25 minutes.
