Police Chief sends 10 officers to search for son’s missing iPhone
Denying that his son received preferential treatment, the Berkeley police chief Wednesday defended using 10 officers to knock on doors in search of the teen’s stolen cellphone.
Chief Michael Meehan distanced himself from the decision to use 10 officers, including four — three police detectives and a sergeant — who each logged two hours of overtime during the search in January that took them into Oakland. He said field supervisors decide how many officers to deploy based on how busy police are and available staff.
Update on the washing machine kid
Remember that video I posted a few days ago about the kid being placed in a washing machine and getting locked in?
It turns out the kid was at the laundromat with his baby sitter and her boyfriend, and the baby sitter never mentioned the incident to his mother.
A woman whose 1-year-old son made national news when a video went viral of him trapped in a tumbling clothes washer says she had no idea what happened until police showed her the video Wednesday, the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J., reports.
Sakia David said her son, Saimier Bush, was taken to the Federal Laundromat in Camden, N.J., on May 11 by his babysitter. Police alerted her after learning of the incident from news accounts.
“She never said anything about it,” David, who did not identify the babysitter, said in an interview outside her apartment.
Speaking on NBC’s Today show today, Sakia David said she wants the babysitter punished for allowing a male friend to put the child in the machine.
