Amber Alert Clayton County A man was taken into custody after an Amber Alert was issued in Georgia. The month-old child was found safe.

CLAYTON COUNTY, GA — A two-month-old baby at the center of a Levi’s Call in Clayton County has been found safe in Nashville, and his father is now in custody. The alert was issued Tuesday morning after police said 25-year-old Tariq Denzell Williams assaulted the child’s mother, took her vehicle, and drove off with the infant, Roman Williams.

The abduction happened around 8:35 a.m. after a domestic dispute. Investigators said Williams forcibly removed the mother from her car on Lake Harbin Road in Rex before leaving with the baby in a silver 2017 Volkswagen Passat with Georgia tag DCA8894. Authorities initially believed he was traveling south on I-75 and might attempt to reach Florida. Police said the child was considered to be in extreme danger.

Roman, described as wearing a grey onesie at the time he was taken, was later located unharmed in Nashville. Authorities confirmed that Williams has been taken into custody.

Before his arrest, multiple warrants had been issued for Williams, including kidnapping, false imprisonment, simple battery, theft by taking–motor vehicle, theft by taking, interference with a 911 call, and cruelty to children in the third degree.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Clayton County Police at 678-610-4781.
