Nicholasville police said the parents of a young child who was left at a local business Saturday evening are now facing charges.
Police put out an urgent plea asking for the public’s help identifying the child on Facebook, and less than an hour later said the parents had been found.
Nicholasville police Lt. Andrew Staggs said the child was returned to his mother, who was cited at the scene.
He said the boy’s father was arrested and was being held in the Jessamine County Detention Center.
Staggs did not provide the names of the parents or what they were charged with.
Police shared a photo of the smiling blond-haired boy on their Facebook page at about 6:40 p.m.
“We are attempting to locate the parents or determine the identity of the child in this photo,” police wrote in the post. “It appears that someone left him at a business in Nicholasville approx. 1 hour ago. His first name may be Gary, we are unable to advise any additional information on his identity at this time. If you recognize this child please call the Nicholasville Police Dept at 859 887-5447.”
