NEWPORT, N.H. (AP) – Police say authorities in North Carolina have found a 14-year-old boy who ran away from a local group home with a 19-year-old teacher’s aide.

Chief David Hoyt said police apprehended Randy Gentner, of Salem, and Jennifer Newcomb, of Croydon, in Robbins, N.C. around noon on Saturday. They were last seen in Newport on July 12. Newport police had issued an arrest warrant for Newcomb on a charge of interference of parental custody, taking a minor over state lines without permission.

Police have said they don’t believe the relationship between the pair was a romantic one. “In fact, we have just the opposite – that it’s more a mother-son-type relationship,” Hoyt had said before.

Newcomb was a teacher’s aide at Gentner’s middle school.
