count each of Contributing to the Delinquency of a Juvenile and three counts each of Resist, Obstruct or Delay Law Enforcement.

bond. They are scheduled to appear in Lexington District Court on September 21, 2010.
The teen, age 17, was returned
to family members unharmed, Detective C.R. Mann said.
