The Dalles Police Department is investigating a call made to Dry Hollow Elementary School by someone claiming to be the parent of a child with instructions on where they child should go after school on Monday, but that person was not the parent. The Dalles Police Chief Pat Ashmore said in a statement that the school followed existing protocol and believed they had confirmed the identity of the caller, and gave the child directions to the location. The child’s actual parent located the student, who was unharmed. Ashmore says it is not known if the incident was the result of a misguided prank or if there was some kind of ill intent, but it is under investigation by local law enforcement. He added parents should be vigilant but not panic until more information is known about the incident. There will be additional law enforcement presence at schools in The Dalles at pickup and dropoff times until the end of the school year. Those who might have any information on the case are asked to call The Dalles Police Department at 541-296-2613.
