"The 10-month-old little boy crawled through an open front door and then traveled approximately 140 feet into the road before he was discovered by Mr. Cannon," said police in a news release.

After a week-long investigation, police have charged the child's father, 41-year-old Evgeniy Dorman, with cruelty/neglect of children. He has been released pending a court hearing.

The child was not injured in the incident.
