Police arrest teen at Whittier

Several parents of pupils at Whitter Elementary School on the city’s south side became alarmed yesterday afternoon while picking up their kids when when they noticed a 15-year-old male watching children on the playground, police Capt. Mark Stigler said.

The teenager was arrested for obstructing.  He is not a registered sex offender, Stigler said.

There was no contact between any child and the teen who appeared to be mentally challenged, Stigler said.
