Two young boys taken from Wyoming home found safe, police say

Police say Adonis Ezell, 4, and Amir Ezell, 1, were found safe. They had been allegedly taken from their home by their non-custodial father on Tuesday morning.

WYOMING, Mich. — Two young boys were found safe after law enforcement in Wyoming said they were taken by their non-custodial father Tuesday morning.

Police say officers were called to a home in the 2600 block of Burlingame Avenue SW around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday on reports of a domestic dispute. 

Officers say 25-year-old Jacobus Lamont Ezell had assaulted his former girlfriend at the home and left with her two children, 18-month-old Amir Ezell and 4-year-old Adonis Ezell.

He reportedly left with the children on foot and took a stroller with him.

Police say Ezell is the children's biological father, but he does not have custody of the children.

Police had said they were "concerned for the welfare of the children given the circumstances of this incident as well as the fact that the suspect is reported to have a mental disorder." 

Authorities did not elaborate. 

Police say the children were later dropped off at their home by one of Ezell's family members.

Ezell has not been located by police at this time.

The Kent County Prosecutor's Office will now review the case to decide if charges will be filed.
