A missing three-year-old Lincoln boy was discovered in a claw machine at a bowling alley Monday night.

Lincoln Police Department got a call Monday about a missing boy. His mother told police he'd slipped out an unlocked door of their apartment while she was in the bathroom.

After arriving at the scene, police were told a child matching the boy's description was at Madsen's Bowling & Billiards, 4700 Dudley St., across the street from where the boy lives.
