On April 15th, 2023, officers received a report of a missing teen. Her father told dispatch she had left home that morning and never returned. She had left her phone behind and had no history of running away. Friends told her parents she had been communicating online with an adult male. As night fell, officers began searching the area. Just before midnight, an officer noticed a gray sedan struggling to make it up a hill and rolling backward into the roadway. He advised dispatch he was out with a disabled vehicle at that location, not knowing what he was about to uncover. Is this is this your car? Yeah. Got you. What's your last name, my man? Macias.

He was trying to get up the hill and it like stalled out and it rolled back and I was like, what the heck? And he's acting all shady as I'm contacting him, didn't tell me the same name as the registered owner and I look over and I see her legs in the passenger seat reclined all the way back with a jacket over her face and I'm like, what? going on? my gun out and I'm like, All right, step out of the [ __ ] out of the car right now cuz she He's like, the first thing he said is, "What?

I'm going to follow behind you guys, okay? Yeah. What are you going to go through on my phone? Your parents are probably going to go through some of your stuff because, like I said, I would rather you just be up front with me so I can try to like mitigate some of it, but they're under the impression that you went to go meet up with some older dude and they're worried, and I'm worried, that some older dude, and maybe that's just a coincidence, is going to take advantage of you or hurt you or God knows what. You okay? You seem out of it. Did you smoke pot today? Yeah, I'm not here to get you in trouble. I just want to know like why you seem so kind of dazed. Did you get smoked out? Did you take an edible? No? Okay. Did any You didn't eat or drink anything from anybody? This guy didn't give you anything to eat or drink? Can we have fire come take a look at our juvenile vital, please? Did he actually give you a statement of what I haven't I I mean, he's while I'm waiting for you guys, I didn't want to ask him too much, but he's he's giving me some statements. Um I I'll have to replay my body cam. I'm mainly waiting for you watching him. Um sounds good. But She basically said that she did go to the park today, which is what mom and dad said. She said she met up with Jazbay or something, a 12-year-old from her school, or she just saw him at the park and they hung out for a while, and then she went to the bus stop cuz she was hungry, so she was going to catch the bus, but she didn't have money. So, then she saw this dude, who she said at first she doesn't know, but then she said, "Well, I think it's maybe the brother of somebody I go to school with cuz his car looks familiar." So, she's got to be in weird there. And then she said that she came and got into his car asking him for a ride home, and he said, "Sure." And he apparently put her address in his phone for GPS. And at first he said he she didn't like drink or eat anything, but then she finally, just before I put her in the car, said that um he did actually give her water when she got in that car. Something's not right. She's just like looking at me and she's like and she said that she has been sleeping. Which probably got drugged or used drugs, one of the two. Yeah, he uh Hey Liam, how old is the girl? 13. 13. How old's the guy again? He was born in '87, so 35. Okay, I'm Officer Fletcher, okay? My body cam's going, we're being audio and video recorded.

We were unable to locate information on his exact sentencing in this case. However, that offense carries a maximum penalty of up to 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. A conviction can also include probation, mandatory counseling, and court-ordered restrictions on contact with minors. Forensic testing did not indicate additional physical misconduct, and more serious charges were not supported.
