A former Greene County, Mississippi election commissioner is behind bars and a 16-year-old girl who went missing with him late last month is safe.
The teen, Veronica Platt, was last seen the day after Christmas with 20-year-old Tyler Wood at his mother's Hattiesburg home and thought to be headed to Louisiana.
It was just yesterday that the sheriff's office issued a Facebook post that Wood, who had told Platt's parents that he was 17, had surrendered and that the girl was safe with officials.
