Amador County – The Ione Police Department in separate incidents earlier this week saved a baby from the heat of a locked car, and also arrested a man for illegal possession of a gun. Ione police sergeant Rocky Harpham said around 11:15 a.m. Monday, “a young woman was babysitting a 3-month-old infant,” and accidentally locked the baby and her keys in her vehicle in front of Golden One Credit Union in Ione. IPD Officer Pollie Pent arrived before medics and noticed “the infant was red, sweaty and not responding to Officer Pent.” The temperature was reaching 80 degrees, the vehicle was not running and the windows were rolled up. Harpham said the “infant appeared to be in distress” so Pent used a “window breaking device to break open one of the windows and remove the baby from the car,” in time for medics to treat the infant. The infant reportedly had minor heat related issues but was treated by medics at the scene and released to its mother, who responded to the location of the incident. Harpham reported on another incident that occurred at about 8:40 p.m. Sunday (July 11th). IPD said a parolee from Lake Tahoe came to Ione to visit a relative and go shooting with a friend’s rifle. Harpham said 26-year-old Justin Page, was stopped by an Ione police officer for vehicle code violations, who learned that Page “did not have permission from his parole agent to travel to Amador County.” The Ione officer “conducted a parole search on the vehicle and found the rifle and some marijuana.” Harpham said it is illegal for a felon to possess firearms. Page was booked into the Amador County Jail for the weapons violation and for violating the conditions of his parole. In unrelated news, Amador County Sheriff’s Office took a report of a possible attempted rape on July 5th on Deer Trail. The reporting party’s 16-year-old daughter was the victim of attempted rape by a 14-year-old male. The boy reportedly had her in headlocks and threw her on the ground in the woods behind her house. The girl was able to fight him off. The boy was last seen running away, and got into a truck with his father. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
