ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) ? Authorities said late Friday they had located country singer Mindy McCready's 5-year-old son in Arkansas and taken him into custody.
Florida Department of Children and Families spokeswoman Terri Durdaller said in an email Friday night that her agency was working with Arkansas officials to bring the boy back to his legal guardian in Florida, his maternal grandmother. Officials said he's safe and in good health.
Gayle Inge, Zander's grandmother and McCready's mother, was tearful when she talked about the news Friday night with The Associated Press.
"I'm real excited that he's safe," she said. "But I can't explain what this is like. We feel for Mindy and we feel for Zander."
Inge said Zander was taken into custody at McCready's boyfriend's home in Arkansas. Inge said her son ? McCready's half brother ? texted McCready, who responded with a text that said her mother would never see her again.
"I want to wrap my arms around her and tell her that I love her," Inge said.
Friday night's developments recap a dayslong saga between McCready and her family.
Authorities say McCready took the boy during a recent visit to her father's Florida home. A judge there signed an order Thursday telling authorities to take the boy into custody and return him.
It's not yet clear whether the singer could face criminal charges.
