A man involved in a Lansing Township Amber Alert incident in 2020 was found guilty on multiple charges March 2, 2022.
A man has been found guilty on charges stemming from a 2020 incident involving an Amber Alert and over 30 police officers searching for him.
Phoenix Washington, 27, was found guilty by an Ingham County Circuit Court jury on Tuesday of the following:
-
Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder
-
Two counts of domestic violence
-
First degree home invasion
-
Two counts of unlawful driving away from a motor vehicle
-
Malicious destruction of personal property between $200 and $1,000
-
Interfering with electronic communications
Washington has yet to be sentenced.
Lansing Township Police said in an October 2020 press release that Washington broke the window to an apartment, which his son, Phoenix Washington Jr., 2 at the time, shared with his mother, stole the keys to the boy’s mother’s vehicle and left with the child.
An Amber Alert was issued for the child that morning but later canceled when the boy was found safe.
