The tot was missing a shoe and was cold to the touch. She took the little boy inside the school and asked the staff if he was in their care. They said yes, and hadn’t known the child was missing. The caller was concerned about the child and the facility, so police paid a call. The head teacher and the child’s parent, who had already been notifed, were contacted.

• Sunday, May 6 2:16 a.m.
A caller from I Street reported
That peace was disturbed and distorted
Cops found no one there
Though beats filled the air
From nearby, where drummers cavorted

An upsurge in Plaza percussion
Meddled with key snoozing functions
Of tired hotel stayers
When cops found drum players
Their bongos were doomed to extunction
7:09 p.m. Ill-behaved patrons at a Northtown erotic supply depot purchsed nitrous oxide, which they apparently thought justified their stealing a torch lighter, packets of sexual lubricant, a card game and two packs of pornographic playing cards. Before repairing to the parking lot to suck down the brain-tingling gas canisters’ contents, the two women and a man plugged in their iPod and cell phone and left them for a courtesy charge. As the charging and huffing took place, an employee reported the theft and noticed children in their car. Police arrived within six minutes and arrested the man on charges of intent to breathe, inhale or ingest for the purpose of causing the condition of intoxication, elation, euphoria, dizziness, stupefaction or dulling of the senses or for the purpose of, in any manner, changing, disorting or disturbing the audio, visual or mental processes; and manufacturing, causing to be manufactured, importing into the state, keeping for sale, offering or exposing for sale or giving, lending or possessing any cane sword. The car was impounded, so the women and kids – presumably relieved of the porn-tidbits – toddled off to wait for a licensed, yet less licentious driver to pick them up.
7:32 p.m. A slender but hysterical man ran through a Valley West motel parking lot yelling about someone hiding his wife and child.

The mom then got a creepy text message from the man stating, “Isn’t it pretty? You want to see it, don’t you? But you can’t.” An attachment to the text message couldn’t be opened.
