#Texas woman arrested after friend left in hot car dies

A Texas woman was arrested for allegedly leaving a friend to die in a hot car after they had done drugs together the night before.

Ashley Langham, 18, from the east Texas city of Grapeland, was busted following the death of David Bradley Dunn. Another friend, Jaelyn Reed, was in critical condition after the two were left in a pickup truck parked outside her home last week, a local ABC affiliate reported Wednesday.

Police believe Langham and a second resident of the home, Dylan Duhon, drove with the two men to buy drugs last Monday night and that Dunn and Reed were passed out in the truck when they arrived back at the residence, according to the station.

After Langham and Duhon allegedly noticed the two still sitting in the pickup truck the next morning, Duhon had Langham drive him to work in another vehicle, leaving them in a hot car for most of the Tuesday, cops said.

Law enforcement officials were called to the residence to find Dunn lying next to the pickup on the ground. Reed was also found at the scene and transported to an area hospital.

The station reported that drugs were found in the residence, though it was not immediately clear what kind. Duhon allegedly told investigators they were taking Xanax.

An arrest affidavit states it’s believed Langham is responsible for leaving the men in the hot truck — and that’s what led to Dunn’s death.

She has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and has been released after posting her $8,000 bond, according to the report.

Duhon allegedly told investigators that the friends had spent the night at the home and that when he left for work, they were asleep on the couch. He said he didn’t how the men ended up in the truck, cops said.

He faces charges of drug possession.
