ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A missing 4-year-old girl from Alpine Township has been found unharmed after being kidnapped by her non-custodial mother. She was found to be staying at a motel in San Angelo, Texas.
According to the Kent County Sheriff's Office, the mother, 36-year-old Laquita Armstrong-Cavin, was arrested at about 7 p.m. The Kent County Prosecutor's Office authorized a warrant for Kidnapping - Custodial Interference, which is a one-year felony. Extradition to Michigan is pending.
After being found, the 4-year-old girl was turned over Children Services in Texas. They are working on getting the girl back to Michigan for her proper care.
We’re told Laquita brought her daughter to a shopping area on Alpine Avenue Tuesday evening under “a supervised visit.” She took off in a car with the girl.
A vehicle description was unavailable and there were no threats issued. The sheriff’s office says it’s for this reason an Amber Alert was not sent out.
KCSO notes Laquita is a resident of Muskegon.
