Police responded to a 911 call at 12:20 AM July 14, 2009 at Jefferson Street near Knowles Avenue after a “hysterical woman” reported that a drunk 23-year-old man was trying to run off with his 17-month-old son according to a Debbi Baker story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
When officers arrived, they found him in the courtyard of the apartment complex with the boy in a stroller. He was arrested on charges of public intoxication. Once the man was in handcuffs and was being taken to jail, his father, who lives out of town, called police to report that his son had abused the boy. He told police the family waited to report the abuse until his son was in custody because they were afraid of him and were worried that he would retaliate and harm them, Cain said.
The man was reportedly book into Vista jail “where he is facing child abuse charges and is being held on $150,000 bail.”
