A nationwide search is under way for a 7-year-old Paulding County boy police believe is in danger. Josh Hoover disappeared on Jan. 17 with his biological father, who officials said lied under oath to get custody of his son.
The Paulding County Sheriff's Office told Channel 2 Action News that Josh Hoover was taken from his grandmother, who had been caring for the child since his mother died, and turned over to his biological father, William Hoover.
Investigators believe William Hoover has left the state with his son.
"There are several indications at this point of different states that he could be traveling to or that he may be in. Our strongest possibility at this point is going to be Texas," said Corporal Brandon Gurley of the Paulding County Sheriff's Office.
The 50-year-old is considered armed and dangerous.
"We do have an arrest warrant issued for Mr. Hoover in this case, charging him with one felony count of interstate interference with child custody," said Gurley.
"He's believed to be traveling with the child in a green 2001 Ford Expedition with an expired Georgia tag BDU 9044," said Gurley.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Paulding County Sheriff's Office at 770-443-3010.
