Two Florida men who snatched an 8-year-old boy from his father – then called 911 to find out if it was illegal – took the boy at the request of his mother in Seattle, Orlando police said.
According to Orlando police, the incident began Friday at about 1 a.m. when Richard Douglas, 23, and Christopher Stokes, 21, grabbed the boy from a taxicab as his father was unloading belongings from the cab at a Motel 6 in Orlando.
Officers responded to the motel after the brother of the boy’s father called police and reported the kidnapping.
The father, George J. Davis, told investigators that the two men threatened him, saying, “Don’t move – give me your son,” then snatched the boy from the front seat of the cab, according to police reports.
