Taylor Roldan ARRESTED; – Kentucky State Police (KSP) have apprehended a mother who was sought in Missouri for the crime of parental kidnapping.
As reported by law enforcement, 29-year-old Taylor Roldan, hailing from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, transported her 3-month-old daughter across state lines, in violation of a custody order issued by the Missouri Department of Social Services. On Sunday, the Cape Girardeau Police Department alerted KSP regarding Roldan’s possible presence at a residence in Hickory, located just north of Mayfield in Graves County.
In a swift response, KSP Post 1 troopers arrived at the residence within 20 minutes, where they located Roldan along with the infant. The child was found unharmed and subsequently placed in the custody of the Missouri Department of Social Services, according to police reports.
Roldan was taken into custody and charged as a fugitive wanted by Missouri authorities for parental kidnapping. She is currently being held at the Calloway County Jail, pending extradition to Missouri.
KSP stated, “Our troopers collaborated closely with Missouri law enforcement, the Missouri Department of Social Services, and the Kentucky Department of Community Based Services to ensure the safety of the infant involved in this case. Public safety is a collective effort, and we extend our gratitude to all those who contributed to ensuring the child’s well-being.”
Additionally, KSP mentioned that the infant was given a Trooper Teddy bear, a plush toy adorned with a KSP shirt and campaign hat, which is provided to children who experience traumatic events.
