Police have obtained a warrant for a 43-year-old man they say kidnapped his son this weekend, although they still do not know where the man is.
A 7-year-old Trumbull boy was found safe in New York Saturday and authorities were still searching for his father, Rodolfo Revello, who they said took the boy earlier in the day after forcing his way into the mother’s home and assaulting her.
The incident triggered an Amber Alert that was canceled at about 6:30 p.m. after police found the boy, identified as Ariel Revello, in Queens, N.Y.
Trumbull police said in an email late Saturday that Revello called Trumbull police shortly after 5 p.m. and said he was “leaving his son, Ariel, with a relative.”
New York police then went to the relative’s home and retrieved the boy who was “safe and unharmed,” the Trumbull police email said. Police said the boy was reunited with his mother Saturday night.
Police said Revello forced his way into the home on Unity Road in Trumbull at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday, assaulted his estranged wife there and fled with their young son, setting off the alert, police said.
Throughout the day, police searched for a white 2015 Ford van that police said Revello was driving when he took the boy and went to New York.
In a news conference Saturday afternoon, police said that Revello has a criminal record and that Ariel’s mother has an active restraining order against the father.
Police said Ariel’s mother was assaulted in her bedroom by Revello, who had forced his way into the house. At one point, Revello got a knife from the kitchen, but he was disarmed by his 17-year-old stepson before he returned to the bedroom, police said.
The mother escaped by jumping out her bedroom window and hiding in the yard, police said. She was treated at a hospital for non-life threatening injuries, and was later released, police said.
Revello took several thousand dollars worth of cash and jewelry from the mother’s room before waking Ariel and leaving the house with him in the van, police said.
Revello’s criminal arrest record includes convictions in Connecticut for third-degree assault, disorderly conduct, violating conditions of his release and driving under the influence twice, according to the state of Connecticut judicial branch’s online criminal records database.
The database said Revello was arrested by Stamford police in January and charged with second-degree breach of peace. Details of the incident were not available on the database. He is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Stamford on Wednesday for a pre-trial hearing on the pending breach-of-peace case.
The warrant includes charges second-degree kidnapping, second-degree larceny, criminal violation of a restraining order, second-degree strangulation, second-degree assault, second-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
Police said that “multiple law enforcement agencies are currently attempting to locate Revello.”
