Runaway teen, Diamon Dalton, located unharmed Saturday and turned over to DSS; we appreciate the public's assistance
A runaway teen, Diamon Dalton, was located in McDowell County over the weekend.
The 17-year-old reportedly left the Circle Street home she shared with her grandmother during the early morning hours of Dec. 8 and never returned.
McDowell County sheriff’s deputies said she was possibly driving a 2005 Chevrolet truck reported stolen on Jan. 1 by Dennis Mulreany.
Marion police officers located Dalton at the old Horton’s convenience store Saturday night and turned her over to the McDowell County Department of Social Services.
She was taken by DSS to Buncombe County for placement.
The investigation into the stolen truck continues. However, the $5,000 vehicle has been recovered.
