Amber Alert ends; charges filed against mother

Posted

RIVERTON (WNE) — A Friday afternoon Amber Alert asking Wyoming residents to look for a Dodge truck containing missing children has been resolved.

Wyoming Highway Patrol announced that the children were found late Friday evening.

They were found in Colorado, where the Amber Alert also was active.

According to a Fremont County Sheriff’s Office announcement, 30-year-old Stacia Potter-Norris took her own children — of whom she did not have legal custody.

Four children aged 14, 11, 6, and 5 were “under an active protective custody tribal court order,” the statement reads.

They were last seen on April 5 in Riverton.

Authorities believed Potter-Norris may have been heading to California in a dark gray 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck, possibly pulling a 2015 brown and white Heart camper.

Potter-Norris was charged by the Fremont County Attorney’s office with interference with custody on Friday. Because she is the children’s mother, the felony charge is punishable by up to two years in prison, rather than the five years faced by non-parental defendants under the same allegations.
