Nashville, TN – A 2-month-old boy at the center of an Amber Alert out of Clayton County, Georgia, was found safe this morning after Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers located the child during a traffic stop along Nolensville Pike near the Williamson County line.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, officers rescued infant Roman Williams after identifying a vehicle connected to the ongoing Amber Alert. Officers found the child unharmed in a parking lot off Nolensville Pike, a major corridor linking Davidson and Williamson counties.
Police say the child’s father, Tariq Williams, was taken into custody at the scene as a fugitive. According to authorities, Williams allegedly fled Georgia with the infant, prompting the statewide Amber Alert issued by Clayton County officials earlier today. MNPD reported that Williams is wanted in Georgia on multiple charges, including kidnapping, false imprisonment and theft.
MNPD said the infant was safely secured and will be transferred to authorities coordinating with Georgia child welfare officials and Clayton County investigators. Additional details on the circumstances leading up to the alert have not yet been released.
Authorities have not indicated when Williams will be transported back to Georgia to face the outstanding charges. The investigation remains active, and both Tennessee and Georgia law enforcement agencies continue to coordinate next steps.
Officials praised the rapid response of MNPD officers, noting that multistate Amber Alerts often rely heavily on vigilant policing and cross-jurisdiction communication to reunite endangered children with caregivers.
Residents who witnessed the police activity along Nolensville Pike this morning are encouraged to contact MNPD if they have additional information related to the case.
