A toddler in Williamsburg, Kentucky, received praise from law enforcement after the kid helped officers locate a fugitive while attempting to serve multiple outstanding warrants to the suspect on Friday.
Deputies with the Whitley County Sheriff’s Department are calling the toddler “very brave and honest” for assisting within the arrest after not one of the adults on the residence would say whether the fugitive was in the house, police reported.
“It is nice to be honest… we shouldn’t lie,” the unnamed small child told officers before stating where the suspect was hiding.
Tina Hicks, 45, was present in the lavatory and was swiftly taken into custody by law enforcement.
The toddler, who was only visiting the house, was within the “fallacious place on the fallacious time” and deputies would have handled the well-being of the kid in the event that they believed he was at risk, police said.
“He was healthy, intelligent, and by no means gave the impression to be abused,” the sheriff’s office said.
Hicks was served with two outstanding warrants for possession of meth and drug paraphernalia while also served with an extra 4 other outstanding court warrants, which law enforcement didn’t specify.
