The 55-year-old woman accused of leaving an infant in a hot car appeared before a judge on Monday.
Lorrie Carter is charged with cruelty or neglect of a child for leaving the seven-month-old in a locked vehicle on August 4 while she ran errands in Lincoln.
The baby was taken to a hospital and authorities notified the Department of Children, Youth and Families.
Carter was released on one-thousand-dollars personal recognizance ahead of a November 6 court appearance.
