ARRESTED:
Tiffany Gallego 33 year old female. Grants Pass resident.
Charges: 2 counts of Custodial Interference 1, 3 counts of Reckless Endangering, Felony Elude, Reckless Driving and Interfering with a police officer.
DETAILS:
On April 12th, 2019 Grants Pass Department of Public Safety Officers attempted to serve Tiffany Gallego with a court order to release her 4 year old son to the father who has been granted full custody. Gallego fled in her vehicle with her three children resulting in a short pursuit. Officers terminated the pursuit due to the reckless driving behavior of Gallego and the risk of harm to the children and the public.
The investigation was assigned to Grants Pass Detectives as there was information that Gallego was going to leave the State with the 4 year old child. Through a coordinated investigation involving the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, Pacific Northwest Violent Task Force (Medford), Las Vegas Metro Police, Henderson Police, Las Vegas Sex Offender Predator Apprehension Team and Vigilant Solutions, Tiffany Gallego was located in Las Vegas along with the 4 year old child on May 2nd, 2019.
Gallego was taken into custody without incident and the 4 year was located in a motel room, safe and sound. The 4 year old child is in the process of being returned to his father. One other child belonging to Gallego was located in the motel room and is in the protective care of DHS.
An AMBER Alert was not utilized in this investigation as it did not meet the requirements, as there were no facts to indicate the child was in any danger of harm. Amber Alerts have specific criteria in place to prevent overuse of the system. Detectives utilized several other resources and partner agencies in order to attempt to locate Gallego and ensure the safety for all involved.
Grants Pass Department of Public Safety want to express their appreciation to the agencies that assisted in the safe recovery of the child and the apprehension of Gallego.
