A man has been taken into custody following a standoff situation stemming from a pursuit in Indiana crossing into Kentucky.
Metro Police say they were notified around 8:30 a.m. Saturday of a four-year-old allegedly abducted by his father from the 10000 block of Leelah Way in Valley Station.
A spokeswoman says Kentucky State Police were notified to begin the process of issuing an Amber Alert but through their investigation they determined that suspect was in New Albany, Indiana.
Officials with Indiana State Police attempted a traffic stop but said the suspect failed to yield and a pursuit began crossing the Ohio River back into Louisville.
They say the suspect then took the child to a home in the 6600 block of Vandre Avenue in Highview.
Police say the child was released to his mother and wasn’t injured.
A short standoff followed with the suspect eventually surrendering to police.
There were no injuries to anyone, police say, and the investigation is ongoing.
The suspect has not yet been identified.
