A New York mom whose son called 911 to report that she had left him alone at a hotel room at Mohegan Sun is being held on $150,000 bond.
Police arrested Xiao Xu Wu, 38, of New York, on Tuesday after her 5-year-old son called 911 around 11:30 a.m. to say he’d been left alone, state police said.
Mohegan Sun released the 911 call on Wednesday. In it, the little boy remains calm and said his mother left to go get him toys.
When police fingerprinted Wu and checked her record, they found a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer and an arrest warrant on counterfeiting charges out of Rocky Mount North Carolina.
Wu appeared in court on Wednesday and used a Mandarin interpreter.
The Rocky Mount Telegram reports that a Xiao Xu Wu was arrested after police seized more than $1 million in counterfeit Louis Vuitton purses and belts, Nike and Timberland shoes and other items.
In Connecticut, Wu was charged with risk of injury to a minor and is being held at York Correctional Institution on $200,000 bond.The state Department of Children and Families took the boy into custody.
