Police say the search for a Georgia man accused of kidnapping his own son has ended in Alabama with an arrest.

Early Wednesday morning, officials with the Cumming Police Department told FOX 5 they were searching for 41-year-old Richard Alan Williams and 6-year-old Adler Williams.

According to police, Richard was supposed to return Adler to his mother on Tuesday afternoon, but he never showed up. Investigators thought he may have taken the boy to Florida, which is outside his court-ordered custody agreement.

At the time, officers issued a warrant for Williams' arrest for interference with custody. Officials said there would be more charges if the father and son were found outside of Georgia.

Late Wednesday afternoon, the pair were located in Alabama, and the father was taken into custody.

Six-year-old Adler Williams is safe, according to the Cumming Police Department.
