Dublin police locate missing 2-year-old

The missing child report triggered an early morning search.

DUBLIN, Ga. — A missing child has been found by Dublin police after a large search early Sunday morning.

2-year-old Micah Troupe was unharmed and returned to his family.

Dublin Police Chief Tim Chatman says Micah's father told them he dropped the child off with a nephew at an apartment at the Jones Village complex, when he'd actually left him with a different relative at another location. 

Dogs and helicopters were used to search for Troupe.

Chatman says they are investigating the possibility that 29-year-old Malcolm Troupe was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

He says they are awaiting testing from the GBI Crime Lab on some substances found in the father's car, but for now, they've allowed him to go home.
