ALMOND (NBC 26) — 6-year-old Ruby Lehman of Almond, Wisconsin was found safe after an Amber Alert was sent out in relation to her disappearance. The Portage County Shertiff's Office says her uncle, Jordan Coyle, is in custody with charges pending.

An AMBER Alert was issued for 6-year-old Ruby R. Lehman after she was reported missing from her grandmother's house Thursday evening around 3:30 p.m. Shortly after Ruby arrived home from school, a vehicle believed to be driven by Ruby's uncle, Jordan A. Coyle, made a brief stop at the house and left. Until Saturday, Ruby had not been seen since.

The Sheriff's Office says authorities found Coyle's car in the Almond School Forest near County Highway J and 3rd Avenue in Almond Township just before 2 p.m. Saturday, where they also found Lehman and Coyle.

The Sheriff's Office says the FBI and Wisconsin Department of Justice assisted in the investigation.
