Child Custody Fight Leads to Arrest

This week, a Houston man was placed under arrest and charged with interference with child custody after he took his 8 year old son from the Huntsville area without permission.

32 year old Todd Jackson was arrested by Houston police after it was discovered that he had taken his non-custodial son.  Last Monday, police received reports around 4:30 PM that an 8 year old child was missing from a residence located at the 200 block of Avenue M.

Detectives set in motion an investigation to find the missing person.  They received information that the child may have been taken by his father, who currently has limited visitation with his son.  

Family members managed to call the 8 year old boy on a cell phone.  The police officers were then able to find the boy by tracking the phone's signal to a Houston neighborhood.  Once police found the location, they said they were able to speak directly with Jackson and convince him to visit his mother's home in Houston.  After Jackson arrived at his mother's home, he was arrested and the child was returned to his mother.
