Posted — UpdatedTarboro police responded to a home on Kathryn Lane early Monday morning in response to a reported runaway.
When they arrived, officers found a 13-year-old sleeping inside the house with German Cruz Capetillo, 30, and determined that the pair had engaged in sexual activity.
Capetillo was being held at the Edgecombe County Detention Center without bond because he is considered a flight risk.
