The Ellsworth Police Department, Maine State Police, and a warden all searched for over an hour before finding the whereabouts of a toddler missing from a Mill Street residence in Ellsworth Thursday afternoon.

The 3 1/2-year-old boy was reported missing at 3:30 p.m., and the warden was dispatched because of the need to search a wooded area. Several officers were sent because it was feared the child could have fallen in the Union River nearby.

Around 5 p.m., police found out that the child was taken from the grandmother’s home by the mother, and the report was apparently based on a misunderstanding.
