Child at center of Amber Alert found safe

HOUSTON

An Amber Alert was issued for 18-month-old Luke Towner earlier today. This after investigators with the Harris County Sheriff's Office say his father, Cody Towner, assaulted the child's mother, then took off with the child, making threats to kill both himself and Luke.

The two had been last seen on Monday, May 20 at the Crown Plaza Hotel on Highway 59 in the Houston area. Cody Towner was arrested on a ferry in Galveston.
