The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A missing Nashville teen was rescued from an Atlanta area human trafficking and prostitution network, and one man was arrested during the investigation, authorities said.
GBI agents located the 16-year-oldĀ girl in a Clayton County hotel Thursday with the help of the Clayton County police and federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents , GBI spokesman John Bankhead said Saturday.
While in the room the juvenile was operating from, the teen's phone rang. When she didn't answer, a man came to the door, Bankhead said.
He identified himself as Huie Herosheio Pollard, 26, and was arrested on an active arrested for unrelated charges.
But when agents and police tried to take Pollard into custody, he became combative, Bankhead said.
He was eventually arrested on the outstanding warrant and additional charges of simple battery on a law enforcement officer, obstruction and terroristic threats.
According to hotel records agents recovered, the teen had been staying there for more than 30 days.
She was taken to the Metro Youth Detention Center pending transport to Tennessee, and in a Friday morning hearing she was waived extradition to Tennessee.
Other charges against Pollard are possible pending further GBI investigation, Bankhead said.
