A missing girl has been found safe in Perry County, after a KARK 4 viewer's tip.
The Perry County Sheriff's office says it received an anonymous call that Arlie Wayne Yarbrough, the man who was believed to have taken 10-year-old Brianna Lujan from Wisconsin, was living at an address in Perryville.
Officials say they responded to that location and Yarbrough came out with the little girl.
