Sheriff Hartman states: On Monday, April 29, 2024, at approximately 1:50 PM, Arlene Cruz reported her 10-year-old juvenile stepdaughter as a runaway to the Davie County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO).

The K9 unit from the Davie County Sheriff’s Office responded along with an additional K9 unit from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. Yadkin County Sheriff’s Office and Winston-Salem Police Department checked other locations in their jurisdictions where the missing juvenile might have been located. Detectives responded to the residence and began conducting an investigation.

(photo courtesy of Digital Davie) Sheriff George Smith served as Davie County Sheriff from 1962-1970 and 1978-1986. An anecdote from George Smith's service as Sheriff, excerpted from the book Davie Sheriffs, compiled by Marie Benge Craig: “It was early in his career; there were no vehicles supplied to the sheriffs and deputies. He drove the family car with his work and was away from their home on a Saturday until midnight. The next morning, Estelle (his wife) and their son used the car and went to church. George phoned a deputy to come pick him up and they went to the church and beckoned Estelle to come outside. He said, 'I’ve got to have the car; the trunk is full of moonshine liquor.'"
