Father of the year contestant left 6 year old alone to play Pokeman Go
Yep another 
Father of the year contestant in action here;
Police accuse an Iowa City man of leaving his 6-year-old son home alone so he could play Pokemon Go with his other son.
Officers responded to a call just after 9 p.m. Saturday at 116 Friendship Street where a neighbor had found the 6-year-old boy. Police said the boy was alone when he woke up from a nap and went outside to find an adult. The neighbor looked after him until officers arrived.
30-year-old Michael Dunham told investigators he left his son at home alone and took his other son to play Pokemon Go. Police said the 6-year-old was left alone for about 90 minutes.
