Amber Alert canceled: Children found safe, father in custody
Two Upstate children have been found safe after deputies say their father assaulted their mother and took them, despite orders of protection. Author: WLTX Updated: 5:30 PM EST December 23, 2020
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. An Amber Alert has been canceled for two Greenville County children after the children were found safe on Wednesday.
The Greenville County Sheriff s Office says 26 year-old Walter Greene was taken into custody and his two children, 3-month-old Majesty Greene and 1 year-old Paradyce Greene, are safe.
An Amber Alert was issued by the Greenville County Sheriff s Office and The South Carolina Law Division Wednesday morning after they say Greene assaulted the mother of the two children at an address on Roberts Road in Simpsonville.
