Darren Doyle, story:
The Edmonson County Sheriff's Office has reported an arrest involving missing Brownsville teen Zachery Shepard (16); however, the teen is still missing at this time.

Sheriff Shane Doyle said deputies received a tip that the teen was seen today at the Edmonson County Public Library. Deputies combed through video surveillance at the library and the teen was identified on video entering a vehicle as a passenger.

The driver was later identified as Crystal D. Shephard (38) of Bowling Green and was located at a residence in Warren County. It is unclear at this time if there is any relation to the missing teen.

She was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct in Bowling Green and transported to the Warren County Detention Center by Bowling Green Police. Sheriff Doyle said that she will also be charged with Custodial Interference in Edmonson County, which is a felony.

"We are currently working through several tips to find the location of this teen," said Sheriff Doyle. "We want the public to be fully aware if you are aiding this juvenile in any way in an attempt to hide his location, you are facing a felony charge that could lead to 5 years in prison. Anyone with any info is encouraged to call Edmonson County Dispatch and speak with an officer on duty."
