Waterville Police Say Their Catch-And-Release Program For Toddlers A Success; May Allow Increase In Bag Limit

WATERVILLE — A father has been summoned after his 2-year-old son was found wandering the city streets alone for the second time this year. Vance Gray, 30, of 11 Hathaway St., was charged Thursday morning for allegedly endangering a child’s welfare. About 11 a.m. Thursday, police received a complaint of a toddler walking unattended at the corner of Front and Leighton streets — a high traffic area in downtown, Sgt. Dan Goss said. At the scene, officer Galen Estes recognized the boy from a similar incident in April. Estes went to the nearby apartment where the boy lives and knocked on the door, but no one answered, Goss said. “Due to the circumstances, we felt it was necessary to make entry into the apartment for the safety and welfare of the children,” Goss said. Inside, police found a 6-month-old baby bundled in blankets and sleeping alone on the living room floor, Goss said. Upstairs, police found Gray, who was also sleeping. (read more at KennebecJournal)
