An arrest warrant for a violation of a custody order has been issued for a non-custodial parent accused of kidnapping her 1-year-old child.
Brittany Ramsey is believed to have possession of her son, Ezra Aragon, despite losing legal custody.
A criminal warrant for Ramsey was issued by law enforcement Jan. 3, according to Bianca Hicks, a spokesperson for Pueblo Police Department.

Ramsey has had possession of Aragon for the past seven months, according to Pueblo PD.
She has a history in Ordway, Colorado, and possible ties to Wolfforth, Texas. The current whereabouts of Ramsey and Aragon are still unknown.
The last known vehicle Ramsey was driving is described as a 2015 green Ford Explorer bearing Colorado license plate number CQT-O33.
Under Colorado Revised Statutes section 18-3-304, any person, including a parent, commits a Class 5 felony if they take or entice a minor child away from their lawful custodian knowing they have no privilege to do so, or violate a child custody order with the intent to deprive the lawful custodian of the minor child’s custody or care.
A Class 5 felony in Colorado usually carries a sentence of one to three years in prison and $1,000 to $100,000 in fines. However, if a suspect takes a child out of the country in violation of a court order, the charge is elevated to a Class 4 felony, carrying a sentencing range of two to six years in prison and $2,000 to $500,000 in fines.
If anyone has any information on Ramsey or Aragon, they are encouraged to contact Pueblo PD at 719-553-2502. To remain anonymous, contact Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-542-STOP (719-542-7867) or submit a tip online at pueblocrimestoppers.com.
