The nanny told police Lemus, 30, got out of the passenger seat of the car, took her daughter and rode away in a car driven by a man, Channel 2 reported.
Authorities issued a Levi’s Call, Georgia’s version of an Amber Alert, for the child. Mireida was eventually found unharmed.
A tip led officials to Lemus and Gonzalez-Lopez, who were booked into the county jail on misdemeanor charges of cruelty to children in the third degree as well as felony charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit a crime, police said.
This is not Lemus’ first brush with the law. She was charged with misdemeanor cruelty to children in the third degree and battery in May of 2016 and released after posting bail, according to jail records.
The next court appearance for Lemus and Gonzalez-Lopez is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Channel 2 reported.
