LAREDO, Texas – A Fort Hood-based soldier who was reported as a possible kidnap victim was found unharmed in a Texas border town.

Spokesman Christopher Grey with the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Command told The Associated Press Thursday there are no indications that Pfc. James Gonzalez was abducted.

Grey says Gonzalez was taken into custody Wednesday night during a traffic stop in Laredo, after leaving a relative's house. Grey says Gonzalez will be turned over to the Army.

The Gonzalez family had said they last saw him on July 11 at his mother's house in Robstown, near Corpus Christi.

Two days later, the FBI told the family that the Army received a call saying Gonzalez had been kidnapped and a $100,000 ransom was demanded.
