CORNING — Tehama County law enforcement officers are searching for a man who reportedly tried to kidnap a 2-year-old boy from a Saturday wedding at the Corning Veterans Hall. Sheriff’s deputies and witnesses at the wedding were reportedly unable to identify the suspect, described as a man in his 30s with a shaved head and dark complexion, standing about five feet, two inches tall, with a pock- marked face, black hair and brown eyes. Some witnesses thought the man may have been drunk and mistaken 2- year-old Angel Topete for his own child. The man reportedly tried to take the boy through the building’s back door before scuffling with the boy’s mother, Guadalupe Hernandez — a fight broken up by wedding guests. The suspect was last seen driving a Burgundy 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe with the Texas license plate 174PVT and a registration that expired in May.
