A 2-year-old was taken from his St. Charles city home in the 2500 block of Chesstal Street, near Lindenwood University early this morning. Police say Anthony Irvin was taken from his mother’s home around 5:15 this morning by his biological, noncustodial father, Anthony Irvin III.
Authorities say Irvin called the child’s mom in the morning asking if he could come see his child. Anthony came over after the mother had got off work. Irvin asked to take the child with him, but the she said no.
He then pulled a gun, saying he was taking the toddler with him, took the boy and then drove off.
Police say the vehicle the father got into had two other adults in the car, an aunt and an unidentified male who was driving the vehicle.
The child and his father were found at a grandmother’s home in north St. Louis.
