A 2-year-old boy at the center of an Amber Alert issued early this morning has been found safe, but authorities continue to search for his father, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Saxon Clemons was located unharmed about 10 a.m. on Friday, February 6, bringing relief to the small Starke County community that had been gripped by fear since the Amber Alert jolted residents awake on their phones early this morning. However, his father, Dwayne Clemons, remains at large as law enforcement intensifies its search efforts.
The ordeal began on the afternoon of Thursday, February 5, when Saxon was last seen in North Judson around 3 p.m. According to multiple reports, Dwayne Clemons allegedly assaulted Saxon's mother during a violent domestic incident before fleeing with the child.
When the Amber Alert was issued early Thursday morning, the urgent message spread rapidly across the state. North Judson, a town of approximately 2,000 residents, found itself at the center of a widespread search as authorities and community members mobilized to locate the missing toddler.
The alert emphasized that Dwayne Clemons was considered armed and dangerous, adding to concerns for Saxon's safety and urging the public to exercise caution.
While Saxon's safe recovery marks a positive turn in the case, authorities continue their active search for Dwayne Clemons. Law enforcement agencies are working together to locate the suspect and bring him into custody.
Anyone with information about Dwayne Clemons' whereabouts is urged to contact local law enforcement immediately. The public is reminded not to approach him, as he is considered dangerous.
