Erdem E. Guzelgunler, 20, of Middletown, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor related to an incident early Friday morning at Old Field Beach, 11252 N. State Route 235, Lakeview.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office on patrol in the area about 3:45 a.m. observed a vehicle parked at the beach area and stopped to check on the occupants.
Deputies said the defendant and a 16-year-old Waynesfield girl were inside the vehicle.
When asked what they were doing so late at night, Guzelgunler told deputies that the pair were “just hanging out.” The girl told deputies that her parents were camping down the road and said her mother did not know where she was.
Dispatchers advised that the defendant also had an active warrant out of Warren County. He was placed under arrest for the warrant and the other charge and was lodged in the Logan County Jail.
The girl’s mother was contacted by deputies.
