Missing GA Infant Safely Found; Dad Arrested

NASHVILLE, TN — A missing 2-month-old Georgia boy has been safely located in Tennessee, and his father was arrested in connection with his disappearance, authorities said hours after issuing a Levi's Call for the boy Tuesday.

Clayton County Police said Roman Williams was located in Nashville by Tennessee police. Officers were working to reunite him with his mother, police said.

Tariq Williams, Roman's 25-year-old father, was taken into custody, police said.

The infant was thought to be in extreme danger when authorities said he was abducted around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday during a domestic incident between his parents in the area of Fielder Road and Mt. Zion Boulevard in Rex.

Williams was accused of assaulting Roman's mother and "forcibly" gaining control of her silver 2017 Volkswagen Passat. Police said Williams left the mother stranded and took off with Roman.

Police initially thought Williams may have been headed to Florida when they said he fled toward Interstate 75. A Levi's Call, Georgia's Amber Alert, was issued for Roman's whereabouts.

Warrants for kidnapping, false imprisonment, simple battery, theft by taking motor vehicle, theft by taking, interfering with a 911 call and third-degree cruelty to children were issued against Williams, police said.

"We are extremely grateful for their swift response and cooperation. ... Thank you to everyone who shared the alert and remained vigilant. Your support makes a difference," Clayton County Police said in an update.
