Toddler found safe, father arrested after abduction, Sacramento Sheriff’s Office says
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday evening said authorities arrested a father suspected of abducting his 16-month-old son, who was not harmed.
The toddler’s father, Cullie Torrence, 27, was taken into custody and arrested on suspicion of parental abduction and violating a restraining order, said Sgt. Rodney Grassmann, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
According to deputies, the child was with his mother when her vehicle broke down. Sheriff’s officials said Torrence arrived and took the child, who was standing on the sidewalk as the toddler’s mother was gathering her belongings from the vehicle.
Torrence, who does not have legal child custody of the boy, then drove away, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
