Southlake physician Dr. Elizabeth Rohr was charged Thursday with interfering with child custody.

A judge denied bond.

Rohr and her five children were discovered Wednesday in San
Benito after an amber alert was issued.

Rohr was arrested. and the unharmed children were turned over to her ex-husband, who has legal custody of them.

He flew home with the youngsters Wednesday night.

Rohr and the children disappeared after a judge ordered her to
turn the youngsters over to her ex-husband, Dr. Craig Saunders,
on Monday.

Rohr last year pleaded no contest to two counts of animal
cruelty after five dead horses were found on her ranch. She was
sentenced to probation and fined.

She faces arraignment September seventh in Denton on charges she
neglected 18 horses at her Southlake farm.

She also allegedly tried to escape from the San Benito hospital
where she was being held after fainting when taken into custody.

Rohr, who had been accused of making death threats against the
children, denied she intended to harm the youngsters.
