OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A missing central Florida couple and their infant have been found safe.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that 25-year-old Robert Brown Jr., 25-year-old Brittney Wilson and their 4-month-old child Gabriel Brown were located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Authorities say an anonymous tip Monday led Myrtle Beach officers to stop the couple when they were seen the next day walking down the street with the baby. Authorities say the child is unharmed.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued an alert Saturday for the baby, saying he could be in danger. Authorities say Brown and Wilson recently lost custody of the infant when a judge transferred his care to the Department of Children and Families.
