MONTESANO, Washington - Tecumseh police say 14-year-old Deborah Fourzan, the teenager who has been missing since February 2, was found in Washington state.

According to Tecumseh Lt. Detective J.R. Kidney, a Washington state trooper pulled over James Reimer in a white Mercury Cougar around 5:00 p.m. CT Saturday.

Washington State Police spokesperson Krista Hedstrom said Reimer was pulled over for a lane violation. A trooper conducted a field sobriety test and let Reimer back in his vehicle. When the trooper called in his information, they discovered Reimer's warrant.

A second trooper responded to help take Reimer into custody. Hedstrom said Reimer was arrested without incident. The car had license plates with no record. The plates that belonged on the car were found in the trunk.

Washington police are currently questioning Reimer and Fourzan. Fourzan's family has been notified and Lt. Kidney said they plan on traveling to Washington to pick up their daughter.
The 14-year-old allegedly ran away with Reimer.

The teen gained national attention when her mother contacted the show American's Most Wanted to get her daughter's picture and Reimer's up across the nation in an attempt to find her.

Reimer faces mulitple charges, including charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor. Those stem from sexually explicit text messages he sent Fourzan.
