On April 28, 2013 at 12:22 PM, Officers were dispatched to the area of Superior Street for a found child. Upon arrival Officers found that a child had been found wandering the neighborhood and the neighbors couldn't locate any parents. For over an hour neighbors and Officers checked the neighborhood for the parents without luck.
Eventually Officers were alerted to a residence in the neighborhood where a man was lying unresponsive on the porch. Officers made contact with the male who was intoxicated. Officers found that the 23 year old Sturgeon Bay man had walked to the location and had fallen asleep on the porch with his child nearby. Officers arrested the 23 year old man for Child Neglect and Felony Bail jumping as he had violated his absolute sobriety requirements of his bond. The 23 year old Sturgeon Bay man was incarcerated at the Door County Jail. The child was reunited with the mother a short time after making contact with the man.
The Sturgeon Bay Police Department would like to thank the entire neighborhood who assisted in this matter.
