An intense overnight search for a missing 1-year-old boy concluded with relief on Wednesday when the toddler, identified as Weston Landrum, was found unharmed, and his father, 46-year-old Wesley Williams, was arrested. The saga, which triggered an Amber Alert in Los Angeles County, began after Williams allegedly abducted the boy following a domestic incident in West Covina, according to a spokesperson from the West Covina Police Department.

The situation rapidly escalated after a domestic violence call around 9 p.m. on Tuesday. The child's mother, who was assaulted by Williams in a car, managed to contact the police after Williams threatened to harm their son and drove off with him, as reported by KABC. This prompted the California Highway Patrol to just before 2 a.m. to rapidly circulate an Amber Alert across the region, in an urgent attempt to locate and to safeguard the child.

Authorities had been looking for a 2014 white Toyota Tacoma with the noteworthy California license plate 75001B3. A description of the boy was also disseminated, detailing his blond hair, blue eyes, and the camouflage pants and gray shirt with a bunny he was last seen wearing. Wesley Williams, in the meantime, was characterized by his brown hair, blue eyes, Hawaiian shirt, and distinctive wing tattoo on his neck, described Hoodline.

The break in the case came when patrol officers saw Williams and his son in West Covina at approximately 11 a.m., said the West Covina Police Department spokesperson. The specifics of the capture were not detailed, but the spokesperson confirmed that the "child was not harmed." This revelation brought an end to the urgent search efforts that spanned across law enforcement and the concerned public, as previously noted by KTLA. The father and son were originally alleged to have been in the L.A. area, but not specifically from West Covina, adding another layer of complexity to the search.

Wesley Williams is now in custody, and further investigation into the abduction and domestic dispute is continuing. Police have not yet released information regarding the charges Williams will face or any updates on the mother's condition following the assault. The West Covina Police Department has expressed their gratitude to the community and fellow law enforcement officers for their rapid response to the Amber Alert which undeniably played a critical role in ensuring the child's safety.
