PUTNAM COUNTY, FL. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Charlotte man has been arrested after being caught in Florida with a teenage girl who was reported missing in February, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 9:40 p.m. on Sunday, March 8, deputies initiated a traffic stop near Crescent City, Florida, on a speeding vehicle. When the deputy spoke with the driver and passenger, the passenger, a young girl, provided misleading information about her name and date of birth.
The driver, 37-year-old Joshua Magraff, from Charlotte, first said she was his 16-year-old cousin. However, she gave deputies a birth date in 2013, which would only make her 12. Officials said she provided two more false names and birth dates, raising concerns.
