Police and U.S. Marshals tell 6 News the missing Jefferson County teen and the man identified as a sex offender were located in Mount Morris, Illinois. 

The mother of 14-year-old Karley Bletz reported her daughter disappeared last week.  She said she believed her daughter was with 38-year-old Donald Guthrie.

Guthrie is a registered sex offender and failed to show up for a court appearance last week in Lycoming County.

Bletz's mother told 6 News on Monday that she knew her daughter had been texting Guthrie, but she tried to stop it. 

Bletz and Guthrie were located Wednesday afternoon.  

The United States Marshal Service said the following in a news release: "The Lycoming County Sheriff’s Office and Pennsylvania State Police requested the assistance of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) to arrest Guthrie and recover the missing juvenile.  The USMS adopted the case as part of its Operation PICK-UP – an initiative designed to coordinate investigative efforts between the U. S. Marshals Service and state and local police agencies to recover missing children."

According to the U.S. Marshal Service, Guthrie was stopped around 3 p.m. by the Mount Morris Police Department.

Police said Guthrie provided a false name, but through a further investigation his true identity was determined. 

Police arrested him for outstanding warrants in Lycoming County. 

Authorities said a search of the immediate area was conducted, and Bletz was located.

Bletz mother told 6 News reporter Brittany Boyer that her daughter was OK.

Earlier on Wednesday, police in Hughesville, Pa. said Guthrie was a suspect in a bank robbery there late last month.

Surveillance video of a robbery at the First National Bank in Hughesville Borough shows who police believe to be Guthrie.

Guthrie was recently charged with indecent assault of minors and unlawful contact with minors relating to sexual offenses and child pornography.
