The arrest report stated the warrant was in service of a judge’s order to remove the child from the home.
Thompson spoke with officers through a window and claimed the young girl wasn’t there and he refused to let the police inside. Officers continued to talk with Thompson, who they said finally admitted the girl was inside and he let them in.
Once inside the home, officers heard noises coming from a bedroom. Thompson then led them to the room, got down on his knees inside a closet and started clearing boxes and clothing that were on the floor, officials said.
Thompson then pulled off a board that was nailed to the wall “to get access to a small space” behind the closet, the arrest report stated.
