A Charlotte County teacher has been arrested for concealing a missing teen inside her Port Charlotte home.
The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office says it has arrested Kelly Simpson, 31, for interfering with the custody of a minor.
Deputies say an investigation into a child who was reported missing by their parents on August 12 led them to Simpson’s home.
The sheriff’s office says Simpson picked up the minor from an unknown location and hid him in her home. They say she knew that he had been reported missing and endangered.
A report from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office says Simpson lied to them about the teen being in her home when he should have been at school.
