• FBI agents arrested Mark Grabowski, 53, at the River Hills Lodge in Platte, S.D., where he had taken a job after fleeing Michigan, Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said in a release.
• Grabowski, of Livingston County's Hartland Township, was supposed to bring Connor Grabowski-Cracchiolo back to his mother in St. Clair County's Casco Township on Aug. 30, but the boy never was returned.
• He is charged in a federal criminal complaint with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and unlawful retention of a child by a parent. He faces extradition to Michigan.
