Police in Wisconsin Rapids are asking for the public’s help locating a woman who fled from officers that were investigating a possible child abuse case on Wednesday.
The 2-month-old child has not been located.
Police are searching for Haley N. Pelot, who is a white woman described as 5’1″ tall, 120 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. She has no permanent address.
According to a department Facebook post, police were trying to contact Pelot as part of the investigation into the child’s welfare.
