OZARK, Mo. (AP) - A Jackson man is charged with felony child abduction after allegedly kidnapping his children from a domestic violence shelter in southwest Missouri.
Police say 39-year-old Scott Pikey also violated a protection order when he tracked down his ex-wife at a shelter in Ozark by using the GPS-enabled sensor in her car.
Officials say Pikey waited for a car to drive through the shelter's gate last weekend and followed it onto the property, the Springfield News-Leader reported.

Court documents say Pikey took his children while his ex-wife was in the shower. She saw his car leave and called authorities with the license plate number and description of the car.
Pikey was arrested soon afterward on U.S. 65 in Ozark.
