PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Woonsocket mother accused of illegally taking her 6-year-old son to Washington state and sparking an Amber Alert has pleaded not guilty.
Andria Britt appeared in Providence District Court on Thursday on a charge of child snatching. She was ordered held on $50,000 surety bail, ordered not to contact her son or his father, and ordered to undergo drug and mental health evaluations.
The 34-year-old Britt shared custody with the father. Authorities say she took him out of state this month in violation of a court order.
An Amber Alert was issued after police said her medical records and other documents led them to believe the boy might be in danger.
