Too far. Okay, I should not have come over as an info ticket, but it is. 2226 was 60 Night Street. (name withheld) says his wife, (name withheld), got a call from a person. It was a male with a heavy accent stating that he has a child, and if he didn't get $100,000, he was going to cut off a finger every hour. There was a child on the line crying and hollering for his mom and grandma to come get him. I guess when they first called to him here, they were transferred over to callback, and they've been trying to make a report, but it's busy. I have nothing further.
