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

At 3 p.m. on Thursday, police responded to the 100 block of North Santa Fe in Salina after receiving an anonymous report of a very young girl seen interacting with a large group of older individuals, predominantly men, according to Saline Police Captain James Feldman.

"Officers  made contact with the girl 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, according to Feldman.

Police 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 on requested charges that include rape, aggravated indecent liberties with the child, aggravated criminal sodomy, contributing to a child's misconduct, distribution of a stimulant and providing tobacco products.
