[UPDATE 5:51 p.m.] Reports indicate that a man has been taken into custody in connection with Brittany Thompson’s disappearance:

 

Brittany Thompson was found alive and unharmed in Rhode Island, according to the Medfield police chief.

The 17-year old girl who went missing monday was found walking down a road in Conventry, R.I. with a man believed to be in his late 20’s. Chief Bob Meaney said the man gave police a Missouri address.

Yesterday, State and Medfield police released a black and white photo of a “heavy-set” man, wearing a “Sons of Anarchy” shirt.  It is unclear he was the man Thompson was found walking with.

Meaney said that the police will continue to investigate the case. Currently, “no criminal charges are pending.”
