The Massachusetts State Police have activated an AMBER Alert for a woman who fled Pennsylvania Friday afternoon with her seriously ill infant son, allegedly ignoring directions to get the boy emergency medical care. The suspect may be in Massachusetts.
The mother is identified as TIFFANY CHERRY, a black female, age 36. She is believed to be approximately 5′ 5″ tall with a large build. According to police in Pennsylvania, she fled that state with her 2 1/2-month-old son QAVAI CHERRY (date of birth 7/25/15). QUAVAI CHERRY is reportedly suffering from severe dehydration.
TIFFANY CHERRY may be driving a gray 2004 Dodge Intrepid with New Hampshire license plate # 3613764. Information collected earlier in the evening suggested CHERRY may be in the Waltham area, but it is not known if she remains in that area. Residents throughout the state are urged to be vigilant for the suspect, victim, and their vehicle.
TIFFANY CHERRY fled Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, at approximately 4:30 p.m. Friday after she was instructed by medical personnel to take QUAVAI to the hospital immediately because the boy was suffering from severe dehydration.
