Nicole Lampkins charged with child neglect

Nicole Lampkins, 21, is accused of leaving her 4-year-old and 10-month-old children home alone for a short time at a residence on Minot Air Force Base in January.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the court, the Ward County Sheriff’s Department received a call from the supervisor of Lampkins’ husband, Bradley Lampkins, on the morning of Jan. 10. The man said he was escorting Bradley Lampkins home and Bradley Lampkins told the other man that Nicole Lampkins was in the car in front of them. The two cars arrived at the residence at the same time and the supervisor, who was aware that the couple had two young children, noticed that the children were not in the car with Nicole Lampkins. Nicole Lampkins told the supervisor that both children were alone in the residence. Nicole Lampkins told the deputy that she left the two youngsters alone for approximately 15 minutes.

Nicole Lampkins is charged in district court in Minot with two counts of Class C felony child neglect.

The charges were not filed until May 10, four months after the incident.

She was scheduled to make an initial appearance on the charge on Tuesday in district court in Minot before North Central District Court Judge Todd Cresap.
