wanton endangerment

[dutchman]

my wife was citated for wanton endangerment last night. She stopped at a walgreens pharmacy and left our 1 yr old daughter in the car, w/ the car running and the doors unlocked. she was in the store for 16 minutes. during that time, 3 or 4 different people called the police. the police called me and because i was able to arrive quickly, she was not taken to jail. The officer said this was a felony. what type of possible penalty could she face? if i were to consider divorce, would this warrant me getting custody of the children?
