(Des Moines, IA) — A 21-year-old Des Moines man may have been drunk when he took a neighbor’s child without permission last weekend. Deng Kodok is charged with child stealing, intoxication, and interference with official acts. Investigators say Kodok took the six-year-old child from his neighbor’s house just before 9:00 p-m Saturday and brought him to the Jordan Creek Mall. While they were at the mall, he refused to cooperate with mall staff members. They say he smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes.
