Abducted North Carolina infant found, Amber Alert canceled
Jaleen Howard
Authorities say a 4-month-old baby taken from his mother in a North Carolina parking lot has been found in South Carolina.
Police told multiple media outlets that Jaleen Xamir Howard was found in Chesterfield County around 2 a.m. Wednesday, about 15 hours after he was abducted some 40 miles away. He was taken to a hospital, and his condition was not released.
Investigators say the baby was snatched from his mother's car in a doctor's office parking lot in Monroe, N.C., on Tuesday morning.
Police say 41-year-old Lonnie Cecil Buchanan was arrested and charged with kidnapping. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.
Authorities have not discussed why Buchanan might have wanted to take the infant.
