Clayton County police have canceled an Amber Alert for a 2-month-old boy believed to have been abducted Monday.
The child was taken by his father, Tariq Denzell Williams, in the area of Fielder Road and Mount Zion Boulevard, police said in the alert, also known as a Levi’s Call in Georgia.
Williams, 25, is accused of assaulting the boy’s mother and then leaving with the child at about 8:30 a.m. in her silver 2017 Volkswagen Passat.
By 5 p.m., police said the boy was located safely in Nashville, Tennessee, and his father was taken into custody. Authorities originally believed Williams might have been heading to Florida.
“The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department, in coordination with the Clayton County Police Department, assisted in locating the suspect, taking him into custody and safely recovering the child,” police said in a statement.
Williams is facing charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, simple battery, theft by taking-motor vehicle, theft by taking, interference with a 911 call and third-degree cruelty to children.
Police said they were working to reunite the boy with his mother.
