Awaiting extradition of suspect from Fla.

HUBBARD

Police are awaiting extradition of a suspect after he was found with a teenage girl who had been missing.

Madison Copley, 15, of Hubbard was found Friday in Clearwater, Fla., Hubbard City Police Chief James Taafe said.

Taafe said the girl seemed to be healthy and free from injury. Her family reported her missing Aug. 13 after she ran away from home the night before, police said.

The man who was with her, Malik Williams, 21, of Solon, faces charges through Girard Municipal Court of contributing to the delinquency of a child and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Taafe said investigators are reviewing whether to file additional charges against Williams.

“We’re just very happy that she was found safe and sound,” Taafe said.
