Facebook Leads Deputies to Runaway Rescue

DAYTON - At approximately, 1:30 a.m. on Tues., July 18, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Matt Wiens observed two juvenile females walking on east Main Street. Weins realized that the girls matched the descriptions of two runaways from Pendleton, Ore. that he had read about on Facebook earlier that day.

Deputy Wiens made contact with the girls and confirmed that they were the runaways in questions. He transported the girls to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office where they warmed themselves while waiting for one of the girl’s mothers to arrive and take custody.
