Phone Helps Track SC Mother, 555-Pound Son To Md.

WOODLAWN, Md. (AP) ―

Baltimore County police say when officers arrested a South Carolina woman accused of neglecting her 555-pound son's health she showed signs of wanting to hurt herself and was taken to a hospital.

County police spokesman Bill Toohey says 49-year-old Jerri Gray was found with her son, 14-year-old Alexander Draper, at the Sudsville laundry in Woodlawn. He says Gray was arrested, but she showed signs of wanting to hurt herself and was taken to a hospital.

When Gray is released from the hospital, Toohey says she will be charged on the South Carolina warrant for violating a custody order and an extradition hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

A county social services official says they're working with South Carolina officials to ensure Draper's safe return home.
