Police Call Off Search for Silver Spring Man Involved in Domestic Dispute

The children involved were returned to their mother.

Montgomery County Police aren't in pursuit of a Silver Spring man involved in a domestic dispute with his wife, after he returned his children Saturday afternoon, said Montgomery County Police Spokesman Howard Hersh. 

The initial reason investigators were concerned was because of the children, but when he brought them back the case was closed, Hersh said.

The Montgomery County Police Department sent a helicopter into the Northwest Branch area between Piney Branch Road and I-495 on Saturday to search for the missing man and children.
