Jacksonville woman charged with interference with custody after meeting kids online



A 37 year old Jacksonville mom has been accused of meeting kids online and hanging out with them while they were using drugs.  Calhoun County authorities say they've arrested Jennifer Orr from Jacksonville. She is currently only charged with a misdemeanor, interference with custody, but officials say more charges will likely be filed.  Sheriff Larry Amerson says parents of a 14-year-old boy alerted them about Orr.  According to Amerson, Orr is accused of picking up the 14-year-old boy and taking him away from his home without his parent's permission.  He says a short time later, a deputy found her car and found the 14-year-old inside.  Orr is accused of hanging out with kids ranging in ages of 14 to 16 sometimes as late as 4 a.m. Amerson says she was meeting the kids on Facebook and other social media sites.  She would lie about her age, telling the kids she was 18 or 22, instead of her actual age of 37, according to the sheriff.  Amerson says he believes she was with the teens during drug activity on more than one occasion and he says she admits to witnessing an overdose.  The sheriff says investigators have spoken to Orr and parents so far. He plans on interviewing the kids as well.  Sheriff Amerson is looking for more kids that might have spent time with Orr. Call the Calhoun County sheriff's department if you can help with the investigation.
