BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. - Officers say the five-year-old boy, Connor Chase, was missing for almost three days before being found Wednesday night.
Police say Timothy Wakefield asked about 40 people for $20. He told them he needed the money to get home. That was a fake story.
Conner was used to make people more willing to give. Connor's mother said she is happy to have her son back. "That was the worst thing I have ever been through in my life," said Stephanie Chase.
Police caught Wakefield in Mobile near Government and Broad Streets. Wakefield is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and custody interference.
Police say he was able to get about $800 from people with the
false story.
