Federal authorities arrested an Indian man in connection with the abduction of his 18-month-old son.

Marshall Fox, 24, fled to his mother's home on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. He took his son, Evan, with him after allegedly beating his wife at their home on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation in Wisconsin.

Federal authorities stepped in after tribal police wouldn't recognize a county warrant issued in Wisconsin, which is a Public Law 280 state.

Evan Fox remains with his father's family in South Dakota. Speaking from Wisconsin, Jamie Fox said she didn't think her husband would harm their son.
