Missing Alpharetta Teen On The Run With Dad: Police

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Alpharetta police continue to search for missing teenager they believe could be with her father, who is prohibited from having contact with her.

Brooklyn Smith, 13, is believed to be with her father Steven Spires, and police have issued an arrest warrant for him, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety said Friday on its Facebook page.

Police previously told Patch that Spires is violating a court order prohibiting contact with his daughter.

Brooklyn, along with 16-year-old Desire Hall, initially left the Main Event Entertainment venue Jan. 14. Both were in the care of the Department of Family and Children Services at the time they were reported missing.

Desire was subsequently located by law enforcement officers in the city who were responding to an unrelated call at a motel in Covington.

Alpharetta police said Brooklyn Smith and Steven Spires, 32, are both believed "to be altering their appearance."

"They are on the run and have been in the Warner Robins, GA area," the agency added.

Alpharetta police say the pair are traveling in a black 2001 Ford Taurus bearing Georgia tag CAY7195.

Steven Keith Spires is described as a white male who is roughly 5’7” tall and weighs around 150 pounds.
Brooklyn Smith is about 4'11" to 5 feet in height, weighs around 100 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a camouflaged jacket and pants with a Florida Georgia Line band T-shirt and brown cowboy boots.

Anyone who sees Brooklyn or Spires is asked to call 911 immediately.
