Mother, uncle, in custody after child abduction

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - The mother and uncle of a child who authorities say was abducted at gunpoint remain in custody following court appearances.

Jessica Mendoza and her brother, Manuel Carrosco Mendoza, were arrested Tuesday and jailed on suspicion of kidnapping and other possible charges.

At a court hearing Wednesday, Yakima County Superior Court Judge Richard Bartheld set bail at $10,000 for Jessica Mendoza and at $75,000 for her brother.

Police say the case arose out of a custody dispute with the child's father.

Police say Manuel Mendoza kicked in an apartment door Monday and took the 17-month-old boy at gunpoint. Police records show that the suspects deny he was armed.

The child was unharmed and returned to his father.
