Where’s Dad? According to Valdet Gjeloshi’s 2-year-old, he is hiding in the attic. That is just the response St. Petersburg, FL police received when looking for Gjeloshi, 29, who was wanted for violating his probation on a battery charge.
Police arrived at 770 62nd Ave. N on Saturday afternoon seeking Gjeloshi. Megan Merschen, the mother of Gjeloshi’s son, answered the door. When asked about Gjeloshi’s whereabouts Merschen, 25, responded by telling police other locations in which he may be found.
That is when Gjeloshi’s 2-year-old son struck into action telling police that his father was hiding in the attic. Merschen later admitted that, indeed, Gjeloshi was in the attic of the house.
Gjeloshi was detained and charged with violating his probation and also resisting an officer without violence. Merschen was also charged with obstruction of justice.
The 2-year-old’s grandfather and father of Gjeloshi, Ismet Gjeloshi, said his son was not hiding in the attic when police arrived. Ismet,62, said that the whole situation was due to a miscommunication involving a court date.
