Sheriff Matt Lindemann said the multijurisdictional response — which included the Texas Rangers, FBI and Sam Bass Fire Department — reflects the seriousness of any missing-child report.
"When someone intentionally misleads law enforcement to conceal their child, triggering a response involving helicopters, drones, ATVs, K9s, and dozens of emergency personnel, only for it to be revealed as an attempt to avoid complying with court orders, appropriate criminal charges are both warranted and necessary," he said in a statement. "We are fortunate and grateful that the child was located safely and was not harmed."
