A suspect has been apprehended after the King County Sheriff’s Office issued an Amber Alert for a missing infant and toddler.
The children were found safe, according to the sheriff’s office.
They said Michael Riley violated a no-contact order and took his 7-month-old and another 2-year-old from the Burien library around noon.
“Apparently they were in their mother’s custody,” said Sgt. Cindi West.
Riley approached the woman in the parking lot of the library and demanded his son, West said.
“He apparently tried to take a swing at her … they had a struggle and she fled away from the car. He jumped in the car and took off with the kids,” West said.
West said that Riley had known gang ties, and there were concerns for the children’s safety. The kids were safely recovered at the time of Riley’s arrest.
