Police: Intoxicated Man Arrested After Pushing Children Into Pool

A man was arrested Saturday after pushing three children that could not swim into a pool while intoxicated, police said.

Officers said a teenager called them and reported that he had rescued a child Saturday night from a pool at a Tulsa apartment complex after Elder Perez pushed them in.

One child showed officers a long scratch on his stomach from the encounter.

Police found beer bottles on the scene near East 31st Street and South Mingo Road before taking Perez into custody.
