Posted: Updated:
TOLEDO, Ohio -

Police arrested Thomas Alba Sunday night at Fifth Third field. According to court documents, Alba tried to lure young children away from their parents and out of the stadium.

He pled not guilty to criminal enticement Monday and is currently behind bars on $10,000 bond.

Police say these types of situations don't happen often, but it is a good reminder to talk to your kids about what to do when encountering strangers.

Police say the kids who Alba tried to entice outside the stadium did the right thing by alerting the first uniformed officer they saw.

    Busing tables, cleaning classrooms, or answering phones at the local Department of Job and Family Services may not sound like the best way to spend a summer, but it would go a long way toward getting new clothes for the new school year, or just for spending money to do fun things during the summer.
