Mom in custody following Amber Alert for 10-month-old boy

KANSAS CITY, MO. – A 10-month-old boy who was the subject of an Amber Alert Tuesday night was taken to safety at a local hospital and is now with “non-parental relatives” according to Liberty police.

Car’mani Colston-Miller was allegedly taken from his birth father by his mother and two men just before 6 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of a Liberty apartment complex.

The mother, Ashley Haygood, has been taken into custody in connection with the abduction but has not yet been charged. One of the men with Haygood was arrested “on other unrelated charges,” police said.

The men – one identified only as Twanty and the other as identified – were armed, and police said Car’mani’s father suffered minor injuries when the child was taken.

According to the police, social services are expected to be involved in custody and “care arrangements” for Car’mani.

Officials are still investigating the incident and asked anyone with information to call Liberty Police at 816-439-4701 or the TIPS hotline at 816-474-8477.
