LAWRENCE COUNTY, Tenn. (WHNT) — A girl who ran when being dropped off at Pathway of Madison County in Owens Cross Roads was spotted in Lawrence County, Tennessee on Friday night.
Owens Cross Roads Police Chief Jason Dobbins told News 19 she remains on the run.
Dobbins said the 15-year-old girl was in the care of the Alabama Department of Human Resources and was being dropped off at Pathway of Madison County around 6:15 p.m. Thursday. However, he said, when the girl arrived at the facility, she ran away.
Dobbins said the girl was not yet in the care of the Pathway facility when she ran away.
Pathway of Madison County contracts with the Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) to provide mental health services for girls. The facility recently had its business license renewed by the Owens Cross Roads City Council with several conditions after the facility faced controversy over what officials called a riot in September of 2024.
