Inverness, Florida -- A father who took off with his two daughters last week has been found in Montana.

The Citrus County Sheriff's Office says 45-year-old Edward Peters was taken into custody without incident early Thursday morning. Deputies say his kids, 6-year-old McKala Peters and 11-year-old Madison were with him and are said to be OK.

Employees at a Montana gas station reported someone filled up and drove off without paying on Wednesday afternoon. The vehicle matched the description of one stolen in Michigan, where Peters' vehicle was found abandoned on Sunday.
