The Salina Police Department (SPD) arrested 34-year-old Trevor Witt after an anonymous caller reported him for being involved with a minor. 

At 3 p.m. on Thursday, October 10, SPD officers responded to the 100 block of North Santa Fe after receiving an anonymous report of a very young girl seen interacting with a large group of older individuals, prodominantly males.

"Officers went made contact with the female, and the concern was she was smoking and had some marks on her neck," Feldman said. "The girl initially tried to say she was 17 and gave a name which was not accurate. Officers were able to determine that she was 13 years old and she was a runaway from a foster care facility in Salina."

SPD took the 13-year-old girl into custody and learned that she had sexual contact with Witt. 

"He had supplied her alcohol, tobacco, possibly some drugs," Feldman said. "He was taken into custody for two counts of rape, aggravated indecent liberties with the child, aggravated criminal sodomy, contributing to a child's misconduct, distribution of a stimulant, and providing tobacco products."

The investigation is ongoing.
