Update: On Sunday, April 21, patrol Officers were able to locate the motorhomel. An off duty Police Officer who was involved in the original incident and a citizen in the area both observed the motorhome in the area of Trent and Fancher. The child is safe and is with his mother.

There was probable cause to arrest the father, 42 year old Anthony E Hall for the original incident. It was initially alleged that Hall had a firearm in his possession.

A short time later Hall was safely taken into custody during a traffic stop on Rutter way, close to Felts Field. Hall was later transported and booked into jail. The investigation is still ongoing.
