JAMESTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT

— A wandering 2-year-old child in a street on Jamestown’s southside led to charges for a pair of city residents.

At around 3:45 p.m. Friday, Jamestown police responded to a call after the toddler was seen in the middle of a busy street. Dispatch did not receive any calls in regard to a missing child and no guardians were around.

After almost 20 minutes, officers who were walking the neighborhood located a guardian, Noel Luciano, 42, frantically yelling inside her residence.

Luciano failed to call police for emergency assistance with locating the lost child, who was in her care. Through further investigation it was found that child was being watched by Thomas Badgley, 52, when the child went missing.

Badgley and Luciano were charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Luciano was also found to have a warrant out of another state and was additionally charged with fugitive from justice. Both were transported to the city jail, where they were being held pending arraignment.
