Rumaldo Peshlakai allegedly took his four children from the Tsayatoh community on the Navajo Nation in New Mexico triggering an Amber Alert.

Navajo Police received a call about a domestic incident involving Peshlakai who reportedly fled the scene in a maroon GMC Yukon. The vehicle was later abandoned and he and the children are believed to be on foot near the community of Tsayatoh.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Navajo Police Department or 911. The children have been entered into the National Crime Information Center database.
