A 39-year-old Janesville man who was arrested for drunken driving for the seventh time, after leaving a young child behind when he fled a traffic stop on foot, is bound over for trial.

Ricardo Moreno appeared in Rock County Court last Wednesday on charges of operating while intoxicated with a passenger under 16, neglecting a child, resisting an officer, and bail jumping.

Moreno waived his right to a preliminary hearing and Court Commissioner Stephen Meyer bound him over for trial. His arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

Janesville Police say an officer stopped a vehicle in the area of South Academy Street and West Court Street last month after it failed to stop at a stop sign.

Moreno is accused of fleeing on foot in the 100 block of South Academy, leaving a young child behind in the vehicle.

Moreno was located with the help of a K-9.
