Colorado Springs Police officers said the suspect, Derik Hembree, an AWOL soldier in the U.S. Army, was arrested in Lawton, Okla. Tuesday, after he dropped the 1-month-old infant off at a fire station there.
The infant, Brooke, was reportedly unharmed.
Police were on the lookout for Hembree since Aug. 4, when he reportedly took the baby in violation of a custody order.
Authorities are arranging to bring the baby back to Colorado.
