Missing girl found 300 miles away
By Stephanie Flemmons, Staff writer
Allen detectives are determining whether they will file charges on a 16-year-old runaway who was found about 300 miles away in San Angelo.
Megan Cherry reportedly stole the family vehicle in early February and disappeared. A Department of Public Safety officer initiated a traffic stop for a speeding violation and once the tags were run the vehicle was reported stolen and she was arrested Wednesday afternoon.
“The car was reported stolen and she was listed as a runaway,” said Gerald Marshall, Allen police spokesman. “She is in custody in San Angelo and could possibly be facing charges for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.”
Allen police believe Cherry ran away due to a verbal disagreement with her parents.
Marshall said they dropped her off at school on Feb. 6 and teachers reported she never went to class.
“We are happy she is fine and doing well,” Marshall said. “We are happy she is safe.”

" It is easy to say things are false and not offer up the truth in return. The reporter here is siting sources within the Allen Police, who are obviously only going to report what they are told during their investigation. If it isn't the truth, than maybe you should share your information with the reporter, instead of trolling on the the internet. "

"...Cherry ran away due to a verbal disagreement with her parents."
