A missing Tennessee teen was found on Thursday, and her adoptive
father was arrested and charged in connection to her
disappearance, officials said.
The 14-year-old was discovered in Wisconsin, after she was
reporting missing earlier this month, Monroe County Sheriff
Tommy Jones told reporters at a news conference.
Her adoptive father, Randall Pruitt, was taken into custody on
Thursday, and charged with rape. The sheriff said it was unclear
if Pruitt has a criminal history.
The teenager is believed to have been "fleeing from a bad home
situation," according to authorities. She was last seen at her
home in Madisonville on Jan. 13. Two days later, the teen's
cellphone pinged 139 miles away in Corbin, Kentucky.
Jones said information on the pings or why the teen was in
Wisconsin was not immediately clear.
He said the family was new to the Monroe County area, after
relocating from Georgia, and noted he doesn't believe the teen —
who is "safe" and in custody and was found in "good health" — is
from Wisconsin.
Pruitt is reportedly scheduled to appear in court Feb. 5.
