ORIGINAL:
Millbrook police are searching for the parent or guardian of a 3-year-old boy found unattended.
Chief P.K. Johnson said officers were called around 2:20 p.m. Friday to the 2800 block of Charmwood Drive.
Once they arrived, they found the boy and attempted to locate a parent or responsible party with no results.
The 3-year-old boy was found wearing dark jogging pants with no shirt and Croc shoes. The boy was taken into protective custody and transported to the police department, pending location of the child’s parent or guardian.
“At this point, we are asking the public’s assistance in locating this little guy’s parents or a guardian,” said Chief Johnson. “He’s in good health and apparently in the company of a little puppy that was watching out for him until our officers came into contact with him. If anyone recognizes this young fella and can get us in touch with a parent or guardian, that would be great.
The Alabama Department of Human Resources has been notified.
