Tulsa Police Searching for Man Who Kidnapped 1-Year-Old Son, Setting off Amber Alert

Tulsa Police

Tulsa Police are searching for a man who triggered an Amber Alert late Thursday by kidnapping his one-year-old son.

Police said the Amber Alert was issued because the child was in danger. They said 24-year-old Terrell Buchanan has a violent history and threatened to kill the child if the boy's mother called police. 

Relatives of Buchanan brought the child back unharmed around 2:30 a.m. Friday. Buchanan had left with him from his sister's apartment near 91st Street and Delaware Avenue.

Buchanan is described as a black male last seen wearing a red hoodie, black sweats and black shoes, and he may be armed with a knife.
