Two children reported missing in Decatur, Alabama are safe after being located by members of the Cheyenne Police Department. They were found at the Sands Motel located at 1022 West Lincolnway.
Earlier this week, a couple with felony warrants fled Decatur, Alabama with their two children. Due to allegations of child abuse, it was believed the children could be in danger. Through the investigation, detectives with the Decatur Police Department determined that the couple was driving through Cheyenne.
Cheyenne Police received the information and successfully located the suspect vehicle in the Sands Motel parking lot. Officers then contacted hotel management to determine which room the couple was registered to.
As officers approached their room, the couple surrendered, and both children were taken into protective custody.
The man and woman are now awaiting extradition back to Alabama. Due to the nature of the call, there was a large police presence in the area.
The case remains under investigation by the Decatur Police Department.
