AP — Alabama authorities have canceled an Amber Alert after a Georgia infant and his mother were found unharmed in Newton County.
The alert for 7-month-old Christopher Grier and Shashawana Odell were issued Saturday. Police said both were kidnapped early Saturday from their home in Grovetown, near Augusta.

The suspect, Christopher Grier Sr., reportedly forced the boy’s mother to drive him to Monroeville, Ala., where he has relatives.

The elder Grier, who was also wanted in a home invasion Friday night, remains at large.
