ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A 37-year-old Anchorage man suspected of stealing a car holding a young child has been arrested.
Anchorage police arrested Bruce King on warrants for felony vehicle theft.
A man Jan. 1 stole a Nissan Sentra that was left unattended with the motor running. A 3-year-old girl was alone in the back seat.
Police issued an alert and the car was found an hour later abandoned behind a liquor store. The child was unharmed.

Officers contacted a suspect near Spenard and Minnesota Drive. Police say King gave a false name and tried to run away but was arrested.
