HARALSON COUNTY, Ga. — The GBI previously said the child was 5 years old. Haralson County deputies later confirmed he is 4.
Authorities said a Haralson County 4-year-old at the center of an Amber Alert has now been found.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, an Amber Alert was sent out on behalf of the Haralson County Sheriff's Office saying 4-year-old Brayden Dobbs was last seen around 6 a.m.
The GBI tweeted about the case saying police believed the boy was traveling with a woman named Anitritte Boyd Dobbs. Authorities in Haralson County later identified the woman as the child's mother.
In a Facebook post, Haralson County deputies said Anitritte went to her estranged husband's house on Bethlehem Church Road with another man. Police said there was "a struggle" before gunfire ensured and Anitritte's husband was shot. That's when Anitritte took Brayden.
Officers said they eventually located Anitritte and Brayden at an unknown location in Douglas. The mother was taken into custody without incident, according to police.
