Nyia Parler, 41, who is wanted in Pennsylvania on aggravated
assault and other charges, was located late on Saturday in an
apartment in Silver Spring, and was taken to a hospital for
treatment for an undisclosed condition, police said.
"Once treatment is completed we'll take her before court
personnel to begin the extradition process," said Captain Paul
Starks, public information officer for the Montgomery County
Police.
Parler's 21-year-old disabled son was found by a passerby on
Friday night lying on leaves and covered by blankets with his
wheelchair and Bible nearby, Philadelphia police said on
Saturday. His school and relatives had been worried about him
and reported him missing.
He is unable to talk and has cerebral palsy said police, who
believe he may have been alone in the wooded area near Cobbs
Creek Park for more than five days after his mother went to
Maryland to visit a boyfriend. He was treated for dehydration in
a Philadelphia hospital.
Starks said that police on Saturday eventually found Parler at
the apartment where she was staying in Silver Spring near
Washington after a man who identified himself as her boyfriend
called police and told them she was there. But when they went to
arrest her she had to go to the hospital for an unspecified
medical problem.
