She has been safely located. We are grateful for the community's efforts in sharing the information and their ongoing commitment to assisting when needed.
All the ppl assuming shes the one laughing what if she was taken and the person that took her was going through her phone saw it and laughed at post to throw ppl off thinking she ran away or something maybe it is her either way just share the post in case you never know
The missing laugh reacted to this post.. 🤔
Don’t just assume the obvious, that it was her who reacted to this post.
Kaylee Davis if you need help please reach out if you can and ask. There are plenty of people out here that care and worry about you and your well being.

We have shared and are following this missing juvenile alert.
Our team is actively sharing this alert across our platforms and with our network of dedicated volunteers to help spread the word as far and wide as possible.
Hope she's found safely. If she was picked up by you and ICE, who knows where she'll end up? DRC?
We pray this child is found safely and the other people that think this is funny don't end up regretting their comments .
Kaylee Davis SO IT'S FUNNY???

I’m Sheriff Steve Smith of the Greene County Sheriff’s Office. The people of Greene County elected me in 2012 to uphold the law, enforce the law, and help provide a safe community. That is what we have been doing, and that is what we will continue to do.
I understand that some people may not agree with every law we are tasked with enforcing. However, our responsibility is not to decide which laws to enforce—it is to enforce the laws and serve our community professionally and fairly.
To accomplish our mission, we work closely with our law enforcement partners, including ICE, the FBI, the DEA, ATF, neighboring sheriff’s offices, and local police departments. These partnerships are essential to protecting our citizens and maintaining safe communities.
Whether everyone agrees with our efforts or not, we will continue to do our job with integrity and dedication. I hope the citizens of Greene County feel safe, appreciate the work being done on their behalf, and will continue to support the men and women who serve this community every day.
Thank you for your continued support.

**UPDATE** All lanes are now open.
One lane is now open on 33 west bound. Please use caution when traveling through the lane closure area to help ensure the safety of road crews and motorists.
🚨Road Closure 33 west bound in between Stephen’s Loop entrances🚨
Road will be closed for some time due to a tree on power lines. Please use an alternate route.
A large tree and it took out a pole on the west side of Stephens Loop. Lines were down across the road there at the stop sign.
Is this still closed
Is 33 W still closed?
Hey Greene County Sheriff’s Office. FUCK YOU. Racially profiling 65 people, pulling them over and abducting 49 of them is NOT enforcing the law. There’s no way 65 people gave you reasonable suspicion to pull them over. You did it bc you’re racist fucking pigs.
UPDATE: Roadway has been reopened.
🚨Tree down-2000 Block of Moore Road🚨
Please be aware there is a large tree blocking the entire road at 2146 Moore Road. We will update when the roadway is clear.
🚨 PSA: June is Move Over Awareness Month across the country and in Virginia🚨
We understand people are traveling for the summer and in a hurry to get to their destination. Our number one priority is for everyone to make it there safely.
When you see emergency lights, tow truck lights, utility vehicles, roadside workers, or disabled vehicles with hazard lights on the shoulder, Virginia law requires drivers to move over to a non-adjacent lane when safe to do so. If you cannot safely move over, you must slow down and proceed with caution.
Failure to comply can result in serious penalties, including traffic citations and, for emergency vehicles, a Class 1 misdemeanor/reckless driving charge.
One lane can save a life. Move Over. Slow Down. Stay Alert.
June is also Pride Month!!! BE FAAAABULOUS!!!! unless you're in the green county, va sheriff's dept. then u can go swallow 7 cacti each.
He limited the posts on Irael Gonzalez bring in food. Because he is working with ICE and anyone brown is getting taken away. I am surprised he didn't call ICE on Gonzalez.
lmao fuck yall you Nazi assholes
