As Montgomery County continues to grow, area leaders are looking to create their own juvenile resource center, WKRN reports. Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden tells the station that often times youth are placed two hours or more away from the county and sometimes, they are just sent home for the night because staff cannot find a spot for them. The situation is draining county resources, Golden says, as two officers must accompany juveniles to doctor’s appointments and court appearances. This week, the Montgomery County Commission formally asked its state legislative delegation to support funding for a juvenile center.
