CINCINNATI — A man accused of taking a 3-year-old girl, triggering an Amber Alert Tuesday morning, now faces charges of domestic violence and making a false alarm.
In court Wednesday, 28-year-old Jeremy Judkins was ordered to be held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $37,000 bond.
In all, he's charged with one count of strangulation, one count of domestic violence, one count of making a false alarm and one count of theft. A grand jury could choose to indict him on additional charges.
According to court documents, Judkins allegedly strangled a woman until she was unconscious, kicked her in the chest and told the woman "he had stolen and killed the victim's daughter while knowing she was safe."
Court documents also say Judkins stole the woman's phone and tablet.
An Amber Alert was issued early Tuesday morning for a missing 3-year-old girl. Police said they believed the girl was taken by Judkins.
Police found the toddler safe in Roselawn and she was reunited with her mother around 5:30 a.m. that same morning.
Police said the incident was initially reported as a domestic violence call.
