Amber Alert ends for 11-year-old girl. She was found with a felon relative, cops say
The Amber Alert issued Sunday for an 11-year-old Apopka girl ended before noon Sunday when, Orange County Sheriff’s Office said, the girl was found with her step-grandfather.
That relative, 50-year-old Darrell Mills of Apopka, has been charged with kidnapping a child under the age of 13; kidnapping/false imprisonment of a child and committing sexual acts; sexual battery on a child under 12; and sexual battery with a deadly weapon or physical force. Florida prison records say Mills did seven prison stints over the last 28 years for various forms of grand theft auto and fleeing law enforcement.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s alert said the girl was last seen wearing a multicolored tank top nightgown in the 1400 block of Elderton Drive in Apopka, where Mills lives.
