The Grayson County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help locating a missing teenager.
Morgan Dennison, 14, was last seen at approximately 11:45 on North Patterson Street in Clarkson, according to the sheriff’s office. She was wearing pink and white shorts and a grayish/greenish hoodie.
Police said investigators are unsure if Morgan is with someone.
Anyone with information on Morgan’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Grayson Co. Sheriff’s Office at 270-259-3024 or your local law enforcement.
Sheriff Norman Chaffins issued a warning to anyone who may help hide, assist or harbor Morgan: “A reminder that if you knowingly assist this child in remaining a missing persons without calling the authorities, you could be charged criminally.”
The most common charges someone faces if found to be harboring or hiding a missing juvenile is unlawful transaction with a minor and custodial interference. But, based on the circumstances, additional charges could be filed.
In the 2019 case, County Attorney for Grayson County Jeremy Logsdon issued the following statement:
Due to the increased numbers of minors being reported missing, the County Attorney’s Office feels it is necessary to make the following statement: Any person who assists a runaway minor in avoiding the custody of their rightful parent or guardian, or the investigating law enforcement officers, will be charged and prosecuted fully for their violations of the law. The lives and safety of our community’s children are extremely important.
