The GBI activated a Levi’s Call, the state’s version of an Amber Alert, to help find Malachi Walker. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office later said the infant, the teen suspect and a stolen vehicle were located at a Days Inn by Wyndham at 3950 River Place Drive.
The child was taken shortly after noon.
“Both infant and juvenile are unharmed,” the sheriff’s office said. “The infant has been released to his parents. The stolen vehicle was released to its owner.”
The teen was charged with theft by taking a motor vehicle and kidnapping, according to police. She was taken to a regional youth detention center, the sheriff’s office said.
