MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee police say the father of a 4-year-old girl reported missing has been arrested for making a false report.

Authorities say the girl was found at school. The police had previously reported the child was in a vehicle that was stolen in Milwaukee on Tuesday morning. They reported the vehicle was recovered, but the child was still missing.

The police later said the so-called abduction was falsely reported by the child’s father, who is in custody. An investigation is ongoing.
