ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A woman has been arrested for allegedly trying to abduct her two sons, according to Albuquerque police.

They said the boys - ages 3 and 6 - were found safe at a motel Wednesday.

Police issued an Amber Alert on Tuesday after Clorisa Renee Covington took the two boys without permission after their dental appointment despite the children being in a state protective care program.



Covington doesn’t have custody of the two boys and will be facing criminal charges, police said.

It was unclear Wednesday if she has a lawyer yet.
