A man who lived on the premises of an Annandale home daycare was arrested for inappropriately touching a girl, and police are investigating whether he molested other children who attended the facility.
Elwood Lewis “Louie” Thomas, 28, was arrested June 7 and charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery, according to Fairfax County police.

In April, a now 14-year-old girl reported that Thomas had inappropriately touched her on multiple occassions when she went to Happy Land Daycare, located at 6412 Holyoke Drive, when she was 11 and 12 years old, officials said.
Since he’s been arrested, police have received several additional reports of Thomas inappropriately touching children at the daycare. Thomas was not an official daycare employee, but he “had daily interaction” with the children there, police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said.
The facility operated for several years but closed after the allegations surfaced.
