The mother of a girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert earlier this year has pled guilty to kidnapping.

Court documents say Arisha Caldwell entered a guilty plea to first-degree kidnapping, interference with custody and first-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

Two-year-old Arukia Ganis was found safely after an Amber Alert was issued on April 9, 2024.

 Arisha Caldwell and Frank Ganis were caught on camera leaving Bass Pro with the child during a supervised visit.

A sentencing hearing will be held in February.
