She was released to Ennis County Jail July 6. The baby was safely returned to family members.

He was found and taken into custody by Weatherford Police officers at a motel in the 2000-Block of Park Avenue. Nast is charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in relation to the abduction.

As of Friday morning, Nast remained incarcerated at the Parker County Jail. His bond had not been set.
