Barrow County infant found safe after alleged abduction, father arrested, deputies say

A missing infant who officials believed was abducted and in extreme danger has been found safe.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation had activated a Levi's Call, Georgia's Amber Alert system, for 9-month-old Rafael Aguilar Rubio on Thursday.

According to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office, which requested the alert be sent out, Rubio was abducted around 10 a.m. by 20-year-old Cesar N. Martinez. The two had been last seen around Carla Court in Winder, Georgia, heading toward Gwinnett County in a red 202 Toyota Camry. 

Rubio was wearing pajamas with monkeys on them and brown socks. He is described as Hispanic, with brown eyes, black hair, and 2'6" in height and weighing 30 pounds. 

Martinez is described as being around 5'10" with a weight of around 200. He was last known to be wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and black Adidas slides.

Authorities say law enforcement authorities in DeKalb County found Rubio safe and took Martinez into custody.

Martinez is charged with simple battery and interference with custody. Officials say he will be transported to Barrow County.
