AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. — An Amber Alert has been canceled after three kids who were kidnapped while waiting for the school bus in Augusta County on Thursday morning were found safe.
Their biological mother, 35-year-old Shanice Chante Davison from Evergreen, Alabama, was arrested, according to the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office. She was taken into custody in the Birmingham area of Alabama after a brief pursuit on I-495.
The siblings, Jai'Marcus Lewis, 10, Ja'Miyah Lewis, 8, and Ja'Liyah Lewis, 6, were reported missing at 7:40 a.m., when they left for the bus stop at Bobby’s Way Apartment complex in Fishersville.
A black car reportedly pulled up to the bus stop when the children were taken. Police believed the children may have been with Davison.
The Augusta County Sheriff's Office said that based on evidence, they believed Davison was likely on the way to Alabama with the children.
The sheriff's office says a reverse 911 call was sent out within a five-mile radius of the apartments. The Amber Alert went out around 1:45 p.m.
