ALLENDALE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, July 29, 2023) – Concerns about a Allendale-area child wandering overnight on Saturday in a heavy rain were soon put to rest.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Matthew Wildfong, deputies were dispatched to the Mystic Woods apartment complex off of Pierce Street around 2 AM on a report that a three- to four-year-old boys in pajamas was walking around the complex. “The child was non-verbal, autistic, and unable to indicate where he had come from,” Wildfong said in a department statement. “The area was searched for parents with no success.”
Deputy Tony Stariha and his canine partner Goos were then deployed to try and track the child’s movements. After going a short distance to the nearby Westwind Apartment complex, the child’s parent was located, and the uninjured youth was reunited.
