An alert about four Talladega County children being sought by authorities after being missing since midday Thursday has been canceled, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

There was no further elaboration by ALEA.

The Department of Human Resources notified the Talladega County Sheriff's Office when they noticed the children were missing, after the agency received a court order regarding temporary custody for the children, and they were unable to make contact with the children or their father, Clifton Christopher Buchanan, 34, of Sylacauga.

Buchanan was located Friday in Etowah County, and he has arrested for interference with custody.
