Missing Child Found Hiding Out in West Portsmouth Home
Scioto County Deputies came to the assistance of Wellston Police searching for a missing child. Just after 6 am, deputies learned that a mom suspected her runaway daughter was at a home on Haig Avenue.
When deputies arrived on the scene, residents of the home told them that the girl had been there but had left with her mother.
An hour later, deputies learned from Wellston Police that the mother had not picked up the child and that she was believed to be hiding out in a little garage beside the home.
Deputies returned to the scene and located the missing child. They transported the child to the Jackson County line and handed her over to Jackson County Deputies.
