Tammy Mann, person of interest after baby abandoned in Milwaukee, taken into custody
MILWAUKEE -- Police announced Thursday, July 12 Tammy Mann, a person of interest in connection to a baby boy who was abandoned near Sherman and Hampton, has been taken into custody.
The child was left on a doorstep around 2:30 a.m. on July 3.
"He didn't have on no clothes. He just had on a Pamper. The Pamper bag was on the steps with him along with the car seat -- but no food, no parent or nobody with him, so I brung him into my home and tried to keep him safe and warm until somebody came looking for him, but nobody showed up after two or three hours. I called the police," said Lakisha Stinson, who found the baby.
