Investigators said they were able to use a tool to unlock the vehicle.
They said the child was hot and exhausted from being inside the car.
Deputies said when the father, Ryan Copeland of Springfield, exited the store he became upset and told them he had forgotten he'd left his 18- month-old inside the car.
He was arrested on one count of endangering children and taken to the Clark County Jail.
The child was taken to a hospital to be checked out, then turned over to his mother.
