The child’s mother and estranged wife of Revello sustained cuts, bruises and abrasions during the violent incident. Revello obtained a knife from the kitchen, but he was disarmed by his 17-year-old stepson.

She jumped out of a bedroom window and hid in the yard. Meanwhile, Revello took his son Ariel Revello, 7, along with thousands of dollars worth of cash and jewelry.

An Amber Alert was issued and Ariel was located in Queens, N.Y., later that day, but Revello was no where to be found.

Rodolfo’s criminal history includes convictions for assault, disorderly conduct, violation of conditions of release and two DUIs. He was also convicted in federal court of distributing cocaine.

According to court documents and statements made in federal court, Revello supplied cocaine to members of the Stamford Chapter of the Latin Kings, who then sold the drugs to their own customers. He was arrested in 2011.

He was sentenced to five years of prison in 2012 followed by four years of supervised release.

Federal records show he was released on September 16, 2014.
