The three-year-old B.C. boy’s father, who triggered a cross-border Amber Alert manhunt, has now been indicted with several criminal charges. Robert Barnett was charged on Friday morning with abduction and theft.
Barnett disappeared with his son, Alvin, while he was visiting him at a hotel in Fernie, in southeast B.C. The police was informed about the abduction around 3:15 pm MT. Finally the Police found 39-year-old Barnett, while he was sleeping in a car with the boy outside the home of a stranger he befriended in Whitefish, Mont., on Friday morning.
Dave Leib, of the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office, shared on Thursday evening that Barnett reached out to a man at a bowling alley in Whitefish, who agreed to buy Barnett breakfast in the morning and also offered him to sleep in his car outside his house. However on Friday morning, the man found out that Barnett was being hunted by police and so called 911 around 7 a.m. MT.
Leib declared that Barnett is under the custody of Flathead detention centre in Montana while his son is in good health. He reported that “[the boy] came down to our office, and wandered around and talked to our deputies here, He was a bright little boy, and had a stuffed giraffe that we talked about, and then he was turned over to our department of family services.”
RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk declared that Barnett will be moved to B.C. for facing the charges, while the son will be handed over to B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Families on Friday morning.
