ASHCAMP, Ky. — A Pike County father was arrested, after his child was found walking in the middle of the road.

The child was discovered by members of the Sycamore Volunteer Fire Department around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday, walking along Elkhorn Creek Road near Norman Cook Road, wearing only a diaper and tank top. Firefighters took the child back to their station, where they provided a meal, bath and fresh clothes.

A short time later, police spotted 41-year-old Billy Thomas walking along the same road. Thomas told police he was searching for his child, saying he had been asleep and the child was gone when he woke up.

The child was placed in the custody of a social worker, while Thomas was arrested. He is charged with a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a minor.
