EDMONTON -- The Amber Alert issued for a 14-month-old has been cancelled after he was found unharmed Friday afternoon, RCMP said.
His father, who police say abducted him from a home in the Hinton, Alta. area, is in custody.
The Amber Alert was issued at approximately 2:30 a.m. after Cody Armstrong, 41, abducted his son, RCMP said.
The father left the house with a rifle, RCMP said.
"Yesterday, mom and [the father] went to the father's home and while there, an altercation took place," RCMP Cpl. Deanna Fontaine told CTV News Edmonton earlier in the day.
The father was armed with a long-barreled rifle, RCMP said.
The Amber Alert was cancelled at 4:50 p.m. RCMP said they were located in the father's Brule, Alta. home and that he was arrested without incident.
"They are both safe, with [the father] being in our custody," Staff Sgt. Chris Murphy said. He added the child is in a "safe space."
"We're very happy that we had the result we had," Murphy said.
Police said earlier in the day the father did not have an extensive criminal record.
"I wouldn't say he is known to police. There have been some occurrences in the past; however, not to that extent," Fontaine said.
Fontaine also said the boy's parents had an "on-again, off-again relationship."
