The timeline of Liam Henrickson's abduction

At 7 pm on Saturday, authorities in Becker responded to a report of domestic violence on the 12000 block of Rolling Ridge Road and found an alleged female assault victim upon arriving at the scene.

The woman, whose name and age was not provided by authorities, claimed that Scott Henrickson had attacked her before leaving with the 2-year-old in her vehicle. The suspect was last seen driving a white 2017 Jeep Renegade with a Minnesota license plate reading 928XYN.

In the wake of the incident, authorities issued an Amber Alert for Liam Henrickson. Five and a half hours after the report of the assault, they received a tip off that the suspect and his two-year-old son were at a home on the 7800 block of Baxter's Highland Scenic Road.

Upon arriving at the scene in Baxter, officers from the Crow Wing County Sheriff Department reported that they had reason to believe that an individual, believed to be Scott Henrickson, was moving around in the shed of the property.

Over a course of three and a half hours, Crow Wing County Sheriff's Department officers negotiated with Scott Henrickson. Eventually, the suspect left the premises, and officials recovered the 2-year-old child unharmed.

Authorities noted that they expect to file formal charges against Henrickson on Monday. He is currently being held at the Crow Wing County Jail on charges of two counts of domestic assault, two counts of protection order violation, threats of violence, and the unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

He has also been accused of deprivation of custodial rights, second-degree drug sale and obstruction of the legal process.
