Police have identified the two men accused to taking a Butler County teen to Missouri over the weekend.
Our news partners at WPXI report that Nicholas Padgett and Nathaniel Archer, both of Arkansas, are now in police custody and awaiting extradition to Butler.
This started when a 15-year-old boy from Adams Township was chatting online with strangers.
It eventually reached a level where the teen left a note telling his parents that he was running away from home. That’s when Padgett and Archer both allegedly picked the boy up and took him to Missouri.
The teen then had second thoughts and called 9-1-1. He was left at a hotel where police found him unharmed.
Padgett and Archer are facing multiple charges.
