A 1-year-old boy was found safe at his grandmother’s house after he was taken by his father at gunpoint from the boy’s mother in Bothell.
The Bothell Police Department received a call from the boy’s mother at 7:05 p.m. Thursday, reporting that her son, Jahvell Scott, was taken from her at gunpoint by his father, Terrance Lee-Hammond Jr.
This occurred in the 9800 block of N.E. 190th St., at the Heritage Park Apartment complex.
