ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say a Roswell woman is accused of abandoning her son at a cemetery last weekend.
They say Loraine Olivas is being held at the Eddy County Detention Center on suspicion of child abuse, abandonment and interference with a child abuse investigation.
It was unclear Monday if she has a lawyer yet.
KOB-TV reports that an Amber Alert was issued for the boy while police searched for Olivas on Saturday.
A short time later, a woman called police after finding the child wandering and crying alone at Lake Arthur Cemetery.
Carlsbad police located Olivas about 5 miles out of the town after she ran out of gas.
A criminal complaint states Olivas told police she left the child at his father’s house, but the man says that did not happen.
