Non-custodial mother arrested for kidnapping
Rancho Cucamonga woman allegedly took son from grandmother's house
A Rancho Cucamonga woman was arrested for kidnapping after taking her son home Wednesday morning.
Tiffany Smith, 24, does not have custody of her 6 year old son, but was allowed to spend the night and visit with him Tuesday night, at the Ironstone Court home of his grandmother, who has guardianship of the boy.
The boy and his mother were reportedly still sleeping when the grandmother left the house Wednesday morning for approximately two hours, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., but gone when she returned.
The grandmother called the Hesperia station of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, and Rancho Cucamonga deputies located mother and child at her home there.
Smith was arrested and booked at West Valley Detention Center for kidnapping.
The boy was returned to the custody of his grandmother.
