A 15-month-old boy was found hours after he was taken from his mother’s home in the early morning Thursday.
The boy, Jarez Wilson Jr. was dropped off at the home about noon. He had been forcibly taken from the home by his 19-year-old father, Jarez. D. Wilson about 6 a.m., police said.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for the boy several hours after the door of the house at 5014 N. 22nd St. was kicked in and the child taken from his mother.
The mother had been sleeping with the child at the time.
Wilson has still not been located. Someone else dropped the child off, although it wasn't immediately clear who that person was.
The child was checked by Omaha Fire and Rescue and taken to a local hospital. It wasn’t immediately clear if the child was injured but in issuing the Amber Alert, police said the boy may have been injured during the struggle when he was taken from his mother.
Police said after taking the child, Wilson fled in a silver, 2009 Saturn four-door with Missouri plates AB9JK. But authorities say that, with the use of On-Star, officers located the Saturn in the area of Irvington Road and Ida Street. The car appeared to be abandoned and was unoccupied, police said.
Police said Wilson might be armed.
