Missing Antigo children found safe in South Dakota

Posted
Two months after they went missing, two Antigo children will soon be reunited with their father. 
 
Averie Brown, 11, and Dalton Brown, 9, were found safe in Hill City,  South Dakota with their mother, Cathy Jo Brown. She has been arrested for interfering with a custody order, a felony.
 
Brown is being held in the Pennington County Jail until she can be brought back to Wisconsin.
 
KOTA-TV reports (http://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.
 
The children's father will be traveling to Pennington County to be reunited with his kids. 
 
The children were taken into custody and are in good condition. They had been missing since mid-November.
