WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KTRE) -
A 14-year-old Timpson girl who was reported missing from a local Amber Alert system has been found safe, according to League City authorities.

The Army soldier that Wichita Falls Police found with her, James Dean Martin, 21, has been booked into the Wichita County Jail on a charge of harboring a runaway and enticing a child. Officials said Martin will be arraigned Saturday morning before a Wichita County judge.

According to a League City press release, a tip was called in to the Wichita Falls Police around 8:45 a.m. Friday, advising them that the car described in the Amber Alert was parked on the side of the road. Police located the car and found Andrea Fox and James Dean Martin, 20, asleep inside the vehicle.

Her mother, Shay Schoening, said she was on the way to see Fox.

Wichita Falls Police have questioned Fox and Martin was booked into the jail Friday evening, according to jail records.

According to Snyder, a tipster saw the billboard about 1.5 miles before he saw the vehicle.

"We appreciate citizens' focus on our signs and it just shows how well this system works," Snyder said.

Fox was last seen about 1 a.m. Tuesday in League City, which is in Galveston County, near Houston.

Amber Alert for missing kids in Houston

Amber Alert issued after Houston woman leaves with 5 kids

Authorities issued an Amber Alert on Wednesday after a woman disappeared with five children she had taken in when they were displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Rhonda Tavey, 44, is charged with five counts of kidnapping, said Harris County Assistant District Attorney Jane Waters, chief of the family criminal law division.

Tavey says she is protecting the children from alleged abuse and neglect by their biological parents, authorities said.

A Dallas television station spoke with Tavey before the Amber Alert was issued. "Their parents are into drugs, crime and I know God put these kids into my hands to take care of," Tavey told WFAA-TV.

The district attorney's office and law enforcement officials have asked Child Protective Services to look into the case, said agency spokeswoman Estella Olguin.

"A report has been made to us that children have been kidnapped and the caregiver claims she can't give the kids back because the biological mom and dad have hurt the children and will hurt the children," Olguin said. "If the kids do show up, we'll have to look into whether the children are at risk if they remain with her or if they return to the mom."
