Man falsely reported baby kidnapped after drug deal allegedly went wrong
A man falsely reported a 13-month-old baby boy kidnapped to pursue charges against the men who allegedly robbed him during a drug deal, police said.
A statewide Amber Alert was issued Saturday night for Bentley Dutz after three men reportedly stole a gold 2000 Ford Taurus with the baby inside at a Farmington gas station.
When Mitchell Dutz was interviewed, police came to determine he made the whole story up. Police said at no time was a car stolen or infant abducted. Dutz used the story to pursue charges against the men who allegedly robbed him in the drug deal, police said.
