TOULON, Ill. (AP) -- Police say the mother of an infant reported abducted from outside the U.S. Post Office in Toulon has been arrested.

Authorities say 19-year-old Kendra Elizabeth Meaker was arrested after reporting her 3-week-old daughter had been abducted Thursday from the back seat of her vehicle.

Authorities say Mia Graci Thompson was found Thursday along a road and is in good condition.
