Dodge County Amber Alert suspect now facing charges

The 40-year-old man connected to the Amber Alert for a missing Beaver Dam 16-year-old now has a warrant out for his arrest in the incident.
The charges against Gary Day include two counts of child enticement and two counts of child abduction. According to court documents, Day’s last known address is in the city of Cabot, Arkansas. A small community about 20 miles northeast of Little Rock, in the central part of the state. Arkansas officials say Day is on felony probation in their state and they are watching for him, should he make a return to the state with the Beaver Dam girl.
Sophia Franklin was last seen Saturday and is believed to have left with Day who had a no contact order with Franklin when she disappeared. Initially Day’s vehicle listed in the Amber Alert had Arkansas plates, but it’s thought the vehicle was seen Monday with Pennsylvania plates, prompting officials to say Day may be changing plates on the vehicle to avoid detection.
Anyone thinking they have seen the two, or have any other information is urged to call the Beaver Dam Police Department, or the Amber Alert tip line at 888-304-3936.
