St. Tammany deputy finds missing girl from Houston during traffic stop

Diana Samuels, NOLA.com/The Times Picayune. January 8, 2017

A St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's deputy stopped a car on Interstate 12 near Mandeville*early Friday (Jan. 6) and found a girl inside who had been reported missing from Houston the previous day. The sheriff's office said the deputy "potentially saved (the girl) from becoming a victim of human trafficking."

The deputy stopped the car, a red Honda Civic with a Texas license plate, because it was traveling with its high beams on, according to the sheriff's office. The girl, who officials*did not provide further information about, was traveling with three men. The men, who were from Guatemala, were undocumented and were taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Fantastic news! She is a lucky young lady.
 
If I remember correctly, there is a spot in Slidell where 3 interstates intersect. I bet a lot of criminal activity passes through this Louisiana town. I am so glad this young lady was rescued.
