The biological father of a baby who was found safe following an Amber Alert out of Ennis this week has been arrested on an unrelated assault charge.

Authorities in Parker County had hoped to reunite 7-month-old Miguel Ramirez with his father after the baby was found Friday evening and his mother was arrested in connection to the incident.

However, Sheriff Russ Authier said authorities discovered the father, Joey Lee Ramirez, was wanted for a family assault incident. Ramirez, 21, was arrested and posted bond Friday evening.
