ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A missing 11-year-old girl from Apopka was found safe after law enforcement enacted an Amber Alert as part of efforts to find her, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Less than four hours after the Amber Alert was issued, a neighbor was able to tip off deputies to where the girl was.
"That gave people sufficient information that a citizen actually flagged one of our guys down a short time ago and able to locate her and they appear to be in good health," said Orange County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Jane Watrel.
Deputies said 50-year-old Darrell Mills was arrested for kidnapping the girl and taken to the Orange County jail.
He is facing multiple felony charges including sexual battery on a child. Because of this, WFTV has removed all identifying information of the missing girl from our articles.
