Chattanooga Police have been in contact with the administration at the Boyd Buchanan School at 4626 Bonnieway Dr. in Chattanooga in reference to an incident that had occurred at the high school.
Administrators of the school reported yesterday evening, non specific graffiti was written on the boy’s bathroom wall. This graffiti was non specific and did not make specific threats towards any student or faculty member. At no time was any student or faculty member at risk.
The administration decided, given recent events at the national level, an off duty Chattanooga Police Officer would be employed to dispel any rumors of threats or incidents at the school.
The incident of the graffiti is being treated as a school prank and disciplinary action will be handled internally. Because students are involved no names will be released. --- Sgt. Kim Noorbergen Chattanooga Police Department Police Information Officer

This is statement provided by Lt. Tim Carroll of the Homicide Unit in relation to the infant death that occurred last evening.
Mr. Robert Reid W-M, age 43 will be charged with:
39-13-212. Criminally Negligent Homicide. 39-15-402. Aggravated Child Abuse and Neglect.
May 1, 2007, 1526 hours; Chattanooga Police, EMS , and Chattanooga Fire Department responded to 6005 Century Oaks Dr . at the Unishippers business on an unresponsive infant. The business is owned by Mr. Reid and his wife.
On police arrival; Mrs. Reid was attempting CPR; Chattanooga Fire Department Engine 6 took over CPR until EMS arrived and confirmed the infant dead at the scene.
The investigation has revealed that Mr. Reid left his home with the infant (Timothy Reid age 15 months) and his three other children (girls ages 10 and 6, and a son age 12) and dropped off the three children at a local school and daycare.
The three older children were dropped off at the school. Mr. Reid apparently failed to take Timothy Reid (in a car seat behind Mr. Reid) into the daycare center and drove to his business arriving at approximately 8:30 am.
At approximately 3:20 pm Mr. Reid went to his car (2002 BMW M5) and found his son unresponsive and took him inside his business. Chattanooga Fire Department First responders did a thermal imaging reading of the BMW and found the inside of the car was 142 degrees and the infant was in the vehicle for almost 7 hours.
This case is being investigated by the Homicide Unit, Child Abuse Unit, and Child Protective Services.
