A 4-year-old Georgia boy who was the subject of a Levi’s Call early Wednesday is back home safe, according to the Roswell Police Department.
Tanner St. Germain and his mother, 32-year-old Ashley Vick, were located shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, August 21, within hours of the alert being issued.
Authorities identified Brian Betenia as the suspect and said at the time, the child was believed to be in “extreme danger.”
Betenia was taken into custody by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office after a brief vehicle pursuit, police say.
“We are deeply grateful to the GBI, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, our media partners, and the members of the public who immediately called in tips in response to the Levi’s call, all of whom worked together to bring about the quick recovery of everyone involved,” the Roswell Police Department says in a news release.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued the statewide Levi’s Call – Georgia’s version of an Amber Alert – after the young boy was reported as abducted.
