Grand Forks  (Grand Forks Herald)  A Grand Forks woman and her mother face serious prison time after law enforcement said they worked together to kidnap an 18-month-old child.

The Grand Forks Herald reports that  21 year old Jasmine Sophia Davis, was scheduled to appear Friday afternoon in Grand Forks District Court on a Class B felony of kidnapping while interfering with a governmental function.  Her mother, 39-year-old Melissa Sue Davis, also was charged Friday with criminal conspiracy, a Class A felony, and hindering law enforcement, a Class C felony.

The charges stem from allegations Jasmine Davis fled with her child, Jaylee Azure, on Thursday afternoon from Grand Forks County Social Services. Staff with the agency told Jasmine Davis they intended to take custody of the child, but the mother took Jaylee, exited the Grand Forks County Building, hopped into a pickup and was driven away by Melissa Davis, according to charging documents.

Court documents do not suggest Jasmine Davis and Jaylee ever left the county,  they took the child to 821 S. 25 Street in Grand Forks, according to court documents. That is believed to be where Melissa Davis lives, Sheriff’s Deputy B.J.Maxson said.

Jaylee was turned over to social services unharmed, and Jasmine Davis was arrested on the kidnapping charge and on two outstanding warrants, according to a news release.

The alleged kidnapping prompted an Amber Alert that lasted several hours. It was believed the child may be in danger, a criteria for issuing the public alert telling the public a child has been abducted.
