Amber Alert Ends In New Mexico, Suspect Didn't Travel To New Mexico
LA MESA, N.M. (CBS4) — An Amber Alert for a 2-year-old boy who allegedly was abducted by his father from a relative's home in southern New Mexico has been canceled.
Dona Ana County Sheriff's officials said 23-year-old Sergio Guadalupe Jacquez might have be driving a stolen truck and could have been headed to either Colorado or Mexico.
They say he went to the home of his son's grandparents in La Mesa about 1 p.m. Monday demanding to take custody of the toddler.
Sheriff's officials say the grandfather refused to let the boy go, but Jacquez allegedly forced his way into the home and took the child.
They say he allegedly poured gasoline inside the grandparent's home, set it on fire and stole their pickup truck.
The grandparents weren't injured.
The child was found safe overnight.
