BECKER, Minn. — Becker Police are sharing more information after a missing toddler triggered an Amber Alert on Saturday night.
Around 7 p.m. on Saturday, police said in a press release that officers were called to a domestic assault at a home in the 12000 block of Rolling Ridge Road in Becker.
Officers spoke with a woman who had been assaulted and learned that a 41-year-old man had left with a woman's 2-year-old son in his vehicle.
Police said a court order prevented the man from having contact with the boy.
Because of the circumstances at the time of the call, officials contacted the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to send out the alert.
Around 12:30 a.m. a homeowner in the 7800 block of Highland Scenic Road in Baxter called police and told them they had seen lights and movement in a nearby shed.
Officials said the suspect has ties to the address and police set up a perimeter around the area.
After three and a half hours of negotiations with the suspect, police took the man into custody. The little boy was found safe.
The suspect was booked into the Crow Wing County Jail and police said there are pending charges for two counts of domestic assault, two counts for violating an order of protection, threats of violence and authorized use of a motor vehicle via long-form complaint through the Sherburne County Attorney's Office.
