8 year-old taken by mother safely back with legal guardian, says Sumter Sheriff

Sumter County Sheriff's Office says a child that was taken by his mother is now safely back with the proper custodial parent.

SUMTER CO., S.C. (WOLO)— Sumter County Sheriff’s Office says a child that was taken by his mother is now safely back with the proper custodial parent.

Rowan Luke Clemmons, 8, was returned after being taken by his mother, who is not the legal guardian. Authorities say Jessica Peebles decided to cooperate with law enforcement and turned herself in earlier today. She was only charged with the original Custodial Interference charge after cooperating with law enforcement.

As reported in a previous story, investigators said 29-year-old Jessica Peebles was accused of taking her son, 8-year-old Rowan Clemmons, against a court order and in violation of visitation rights.
