Authorities have reportedly located Xavier Billings, the eight-month-old child who disappeared with his parents from the scene of an accident where a meth lab was found yesterday.
According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, at approximately 7 p.m. today (Oct. 18), officers from the City of Flint Police Department in Michigan were able to capture 29-year-old Andrew Billings and 19-year-old Adriana Billings and were also able to take into protective custody their eight-month-old child, Xavier Billings.

“The White County Sheriff’s Department, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the DeKalb Sheriff’s Department have worked around the clock since the endangered child alert on eight-month-old Xavier Billings has been activated,” Ray said. “Today, we were able to gather information on the whereabouts of the Billings family. We were able to obtain a name and address of where the Billings family might be staying. We immediately contacted the Flint Police Department, and in return, they were able to locate these individuals there.”

The sheriff said Michigan Department of Children's Services were summoned to the residence. The State of Tennessee Children’s Services has also been notified. Andrew and Adriana Billings will be extradited back to DeKalb County Tennessee for criminal charges of Aggravated Child Abuse and Initiation of Methamphetamine Manufacture Process.

Ray said he would like to thank White County Sheriff Oddie Shoupe and his department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Johnson, DeKalb Central Dispatch, and all of the people who have reported tips into his office and the Endanger Child Alert System.
