The Douglas County Sheriff reports that on Thursday at 12:05 a.m., child abduction suspects Dason Valdez and Krystle Reid were located by the Carson City Sheriff’s Office based on a Secret Witness tip.
Valdez was arrested on a Carson City warrant. Krystle was released at the scene. Charges for both are pending in Douglas County.
The children were returned safe Monday night after an Amber Alert was issued.
At approximately 5:10 p.m. Monday Valdez and Reid were involved in a domestic incident with Valdez’s mother in the Indian Hills subdivision of Douglas County, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Valdez and Reid are the parents of two children, ages 2 and 4. The children were awarded to Valdez’s parents on Monday in the Carson City District Court.
Valdez and Reid were unhappy with the court’s decision that resulted in Valdez battering his mother and forcefully taking the 4-year-old child from his mother’s arms, according to a sheriff's office spokesman.
Valdez and Reid then abducted both children from the residence and fled to Carson City. Prior to leaving the residence Valdez told his parents that he was going to return later in the night and kill both of them, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
