DECATUR, GA -- A man that law enforcement officials are calling a "person of interest" has been taken into custody in the disappearance of his grandmother, Patch has learned. Gregory Williams is facing charges of kidnapping, theft and aggravated assault, according to news reports.

Meanwhile, authorities on Friday continue to search for 78-year-old Millicent Williams, who lived in a home in the 3800 block of Brookgreen Point in DeKalb with her grandson.

Gregory Williams was arrested Thursday afternoon after authorities spotted him in his grandmother's2014 Toyota Carolla and pulled him over in a Kroger parking lot. Blood was found in the home, authorities said. According to WGCL, police were also searching a residence in the 4500 block of Flat Shoals Parkway in Decatur.

Law enforcement were called to the Williams home when family had not heard from her, according to news reports. When officers arrived, they saw evidence of an altercation of some kind.

"We saw signs of a struggle at the scene, so, that raised our suspicions -- and that forced us to act," Capt. J.A. Lewis told WXIA-TV.
