Monday Amber Alert Cancelled, Subject Jailed

The Amber Alert issued early Monday Morning has been cancelled and a suspect is jailed after the alleged abduction of two children in central Iowa.

Authorities say 21-year-old Allison Tucker did have her friend’s permission to take the two children to Des Moines to look at a dog to adopt on Sunday afternoon. The parent, in Jefferson, became worried after they never reached their destination.

The children were reported missing around 8 o’clock Sunday night. Tucker was taken into custody without incident at a hotel in downtown Des Moines around 5:30 A-M, about two hours after the alert was issued. Both children, a four-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl, were found unhurt.
