After a pursuit on Highway 2, police stopped a suspect vehicle at the center of an Amber Alert near Stevens Pass Monday afternoon.
Police say Mason Joseph Bennatts-Miller, 6, is OK and his mother is in custody.
At one point, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office deputies spotted the vehicle, a grey Acura SUV, but backed off due to high speeds.

The King County Sheriff’s Office said the boy’s non-custodial mother broke into her mother’s Auburn home Sunday night with a knife, tied her up, and took the autistic boy after ransacking the house.
“It took that long for the grandmother to get untied from the restraints and that’s why we got the call at about 6 a.m. Monday,” said King County Sheriff’s Sgt. D.B. Gates.
Gates said this is not the first time Sandra Bennatts, 34, has fled with the boy.
