WHEATON, Md. -- Police have found a woman and her 5-year-old son who were the subject of an abduction alert issued Sunday night. But they also found out that the abduction story turned out to be a hoax.

Montgomery County police officers found Sara Hernandez-Torres, 22, and her son, Isaac, unharmed after a Dodge Ram pickup truck was found at about 10:30 a.m. near Twinbrook Parkway and Castleford Road. WRC-TV in Washington, D.C., reported that a municipal employee in Rockville spotted the vehicle, which was a subject of the Amber Alert issued Sunday night, outside a home.

Officers took into custody Carlos Delcid, 41, who they said was driving the truck. At first, police reported that they believed Delcid took the woman and her child shortly after 6 p.m. from the Wheaton metro station.

Police spokesman Derek Baliles said the Amber Alert was issued based on information from family members, but did not have specifics. Montgomery County police said Hernandez-Torres made up the story in which she claimed her supposed former boyfriend abducted her and her son. Police said she wanted to hide her ongoing romance with the man from her family.

Police said that Hernandez-Torres admitted to making up the story about the abduction after being questioned. Charges likely will be filed against her for making a false report. Delcid likely will not face charges.
