FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is providing more insight into the arrest of a man accused of kidnapping a four-year-old boy and his mother.

Shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, Vick and Germain had both been found safe.

The suspect, Brian Betenia believed to be Vick’s partner led Forsyth County deputies on a chase.

Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman shared on Facebook how deputies found Betenia’s vehicle and rescued the victims.
