A child neglect charge against a Pennsylvania man accused of leaving a young girl alone inside a Tesla Cybertruck at Aventura Mall nearly three months ago has been dropped, according to court records.
The case against 36-year-old Vadim Fedorovsky, of Reading, Pennsylvania, was officially closed on Feb. 26 by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge William Altfield, records show.
Fedorovsky was arrested Jan. 17 after Aventura police said officers responded to reports of a “small child” left unattended in a silver Tesla Cybertruck parked on the third level of the Macy’s garage at 19545 Biscayne Blvd.
When officers arrived just after 1:30 p.m., they found the truck turned off with the rear left window slightly down and a young girl sleeping in a car seat in the rear right passenger seat, according to the arrest report.
Police said the girl appeared to be breathing and not in distress. A cellphone found in the front seat was still active on a phone call that had reportedly lasted more than 50 minutes, the report stated.
Officers said they unlocked the vehicle, retrieved the phone, and contacted its owner — later identified as Fedorovsky.
They said he was arrested at the scene on one count of child neglect without great bodily harm.
At the time, police did not disclose the girl’s age or Fedorovsky’s relationship to the child.
“My client is grateful that the State Attorney’s Office carefully and diligently considered the facts and applicable law and made the right decision, taking no action on the charges,” Fedorovsky’s attorney, Walter A. Reynoso, told Local 10 News in an email Monday.
Local 10 News has requested the closeout memo from the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office and is awaiting that report.
