HILL CITY, S.D. (AP) - A woman wanted for abducting her two children from their home in Wisconsin has been arrested in South Dakota.

The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office says in a social media post that Cathy Jo Brown was wanted for interfering with a custody order, a felony.

KOTA-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2jVNNOF ) that deputies received a tip Monday that a red pickup truck matching the description of Brown’s vehicle was seen broken down in the Black Hills National Forest.



Deputies caught up with Brown at a Hill City hotel and arrested her.

Federal authorities had been searching the Black Hills area for Brown and her children - 9-year-old Dalton Brown and 11-year-old Averie Brown - along with another woman thought to be with them.

The children were taken into custody and are in good condition.
