We would like to congratulate the Indiana State Police, (@IndStatePolice) particularly Troopers Andrew Watson and Ross Johnson out of the Jasper District. This evening, the Delaware State Police issued an Amber Alert for 4 year old Colette Hamilton and her brother, 4 month old Cortez Hamilton, Jr., of Smyrna, Delaware. Both children, along with their mother, 35 year old Keisha Hamilton, had not been seen since 10:00 P.M. Friday. At 7:32 P.M., Jasper District Troopers Andrew Watson and Ross Johnson, while sitting at the 38 mile marker on Interstate 64, observed a large red SUV pass them traveling west. Both troopers caught up to the vehicle and found that it was a red Chevrolet Suburban with a Delaware license plate. At the 37 mile marker, troopers activated their emergency lights to attempt to pull over the Chevrolet, which stopped at the 36 mile marker. Troopers ordered the driver, Hamilton, Sr., out of the vehicle and placed him into custody without incident. Both Colette and Cortex Jr. were found safe inside the vehicle.
