A young boy was found alone near a busy roadway. He was discovered by a construction crew on South Dixie, not far from Interstate 20. The crew had seen a woman with the boy earlier, but she was no longer with him when they found him.

The woman, from Houston, was later located by police. She was taken into custody on Friday.

Further details about the incident are available from the Odessa Police Department report, as reported by the Odessa American.
