Child Taken by Non-Custodial Father from Barnes & Noble in Johnson County

Summary: A black male, who is not the confirmed father and is not listed on the child's birth certificate, took a child from the complainant during a visitation at Barnes & Noble in Johnson County, Indiana. The suspect left in a black Jeep Cherokee (possibly a 2017 Grand Jeep Renegade) with an Illinois plate, possibly personalized as 'Queen Union Ida Lincoln Tom.' The vehicle was last seen heading northbound toward Chicago, possibly via I-65. Law enforcement and state police were notified, and a search was conducted in the area. The mother remained in contact with the suspect by phone, but refused further police assistance. The vehicle's color was later questioned, as records showed it registered as green. The situation was eventually de-escalated as the complainant declined further help.
