HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — An abducted four-year-old boy from Burton has been found safe this afternoon in Harris County, according to Washington County authorities.

Sheriff Otto Hanak said in a statement to KRHD News, U.S. Marshals apprehended the boy's father, 36-year-old Joshua Crowley, without incident in Harris County. Hanak said four-year-old Wyatt Crowley is safe and healthy this evening.
