A 39-year-old woman from Tennessee has been arrested on multiple felony charges for allegedly kidnapping her two biological children, per Law & Crime. She allegedly brutally attacked her mother, who is the children’s legal guardian, leaving her unconscious in the process.

Sarah Myers was taken into custody on Thursday and faces charges including one count of child neglect for a child under 8, two counts of custodial interference, and one count of vehicle theft, all classified as felonies, as announced by authorities. Her children, 1-year-old Rico Delk and 3-month-old Elijah Delk, were located unharmed.

On Wednesday evening, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Metro Nashville Police Department issued an Endangered Child Alert for Rico and Elijah, stating that both children were

“believed to be with their non-custodial mother, Sarah Myers.”

Myers was reportedly traveling with the children in a 1997 cream Lincoln Town Car with Tennessee license plates.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Nashville NBC affiliate WSMV, on Wednesday, Myers drove to her mother Holly Featherman’s home in the Lincoln Town Car. Featherman is reportedly the legal custodian of both grandchildren. After arriving at her mother’s home, Myers allegedly 

“attacked her until she was rendered unconscious,”

before fleeing with her children. 

Several hours later, a man requested a welfare check on Myers, who was reported to be suicidal. When authorities arrived, they found the older child alone in the Lincoln outside. Myers and Elijah were inside a nearby townhome located in the Hermitage, Tennessee area. She is currently being held on a $20,000 bond.
