AMBER Alert canceled: 2-year-old boy safe, father arrested
The boy whose abduction sparked an AMBER Alert Sunday evening has been found safe, and his non-custodial father has been arrested.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension provided the update Monday morning, announcing just before 5 a.m. that the AMBER Alert had been canceled.
The Apple Valley Police Department said the child's biological father was prohibited by court order from having any sort of contact with the child or his mother.
According to police, the department was alerted of a domestic dispute on the 12700 block of Germane Avenue at about 5:22 p.m. That's when police learned of the child's abduction.
After authorities learned more information, they conducted a search warrant at a home in St. Paul. However, the suspect and child weren't found.
Police later found the suspect and the child at a Minneapolis address. The child was reunited with his mother.
An investigation remains active.
