BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Police say a 17-year-old who willingly left with a 52-year-old man has been found unharmed in the same eastern Tennessee county she went missing from.

News outlets report Bristol police stopped a vehicle Thursday morning with Richard Tester and the teenager inside. They were both taken into custody without incident.

Both families reported them missing Tuesday, and an Amber Alert was issued Thursday. Sullivan County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Quon said the two had previously met but declined to comment on specifics on the case.

The two had been spotted at a parking lot in Blountville and a hotel in Marion, Virginia. Quon says it's unclear why they returned to Bristol.

Tester was charged with aggravated kidnapping because he's accused of taking the juvenile across state lines. It's unclear if he has a lawyer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — J. Cole, Tool and Stevie Nicks will headline this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is set to return after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and weather. 

The lineup for the June 16-19 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was released Tuesday and also includes The Chicks, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, 21 Savage, Machine Gun Kelly, Roddy Ricch, Flume and Illenium. 

Last year's festival was set to go on with extra COVID-19 precautions in place for fans, but heavy rains from Hurricane Ida left the grounds unsafe for driving or camping. The festival takes place on a former farm in rural Tennessee about an hour southeast of Nashville. Tickets go on sale Thursday. 

The 2020 festival was postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Other artists on the lineup include Bleachers, Lord Huron, Disclosure, The War on Drugs, Billy Strings, Porter Robinson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Herbie Hancock.
