Missing girl found safe

A Jefferson County girl who was reported missing more than a week ago was found Monday in Lincoln County.

Sheriff’s Office Maj. Lafayette Woods Jr. said Megan Elizabeth Armitage, 15, was found behind a house in Star City and is safe.

Armitage left her residence Sept. 18 and was believed to have been in the company of a 19-year-old Lincoln County man.

The sheriff’s office had put out a BOLO (Be On The Lookout) for Armitage and the man Saturday and that was cancelled Monday afternoon.

No further information was immediately available.
