PORT TOWNSEND — Police in Bremerton say a boy allegedly taken from his Port Townsend home Sunday who became the subject of an Amber Alert has been found safe.
His mother has been arrested.
Officials said 8-year-old Silas Rodriguez was found early this morning in Bremerton, two days after being taken by his mother, who does not have legal custody and is allowed to see him only during supervised visits.
Tiffany Rondeau, 31, allegedly took Silas during a visit at her parents’ house on Sunday and refused to bring the boy home or tell police where she was. The family told investigators that Rondeau was under the influence of drugs.
Police did not say exactly where in Bremerton they were located.
Officials said Silas is being taken back to his grandparents’ home and Rondeau will be booked into jail for investigation of custodial interference.
An Amber Alert is a child abduction alert bulletin across the nation. It was originally named for Amber Hagerman, a 9-year-old child who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas, in 1996.
