A northwest Arkansas man was arrested after police found his child in a hidden closet compartment that was nailed shut while they were assisting state officials who were trying to take custody of the minor, authorities said.
The closet compartment was hidden and nailed shut, according to the incident report. “Jon moved some boxes and then had to pull a board that was nailed to the wall to get access to a small space behind the closet wall,” the incident report said. “Jon admitted to concealing … inside the compartment so DHS would not take custody,” it said. Thompson could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
