This was pretty selfish.
He didn’t think this through.
Police arrested the father of an Oakland toddler who was falsely reported missing Saturday night.
An AMBER ALERT was issued for 3-year-old Ciara McCroey when her dad allegedly told police his car was stolen with her inside on the rear passenger seat around 8:10 p.m.
It was originally reported that the child was taken by an “unknown suspect” from Oakland, in a 2005 Silver Mercedes Benz S430 sedan near 58th Avenue and International Blvd.
Ciara was reported safe by police at 1:51 a.m. Sunday. Ten hours later, police reported the girl was actually safe with her mother at the time the car was stolen.
The father is accused of filing a false police report, claiming that Ciara was in the stolen car. Oakland PD says he “lied to police in hopes police would find car quickly.”
