A Santa Rosa County judge has denied bond for 28-year-old Angela Leavitt, the Milton mother who police say ran away with her two children and 16-year-old boyfriend. Leavitt was arrested Tuesday at Pensacola Regional Airport.

News 5 was the only TV station in court this morning for Leavitt's bond hearing. We'll have that exclusive video later today on News 5 at 5:00 and 6:00.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office says a Crime Stoppers tip lead deputies to the airport on Tuesday. She was supposed to be arriving in Pensacola on a connecting flight from Atlanta. Just before 1:00 p.m., airport police found Leavitt and her two kids, 8-year-old Haley and 9-year-old Damien, in the baggage claim area. They were with Leavitt's attorney who met them at the airport.

Leavitt said she was on her way to the Santa Rosa County Jail to turn herself in on child sex charges. Deputies believe Leavitt had sex at least three times with her 16-year-old boyfriend. According to text messages, she wanted to have his baby.

Leavitt was arrested by airport police and transported to the Escambia County Jail. She was later transferred to the Santa Rosa County Jail. Leavitt's two children were released to the custody of their father, Greg Leavitt, per a court order.

After today's bond hearing, Greg Leavitt released this statement. "I am extremely happy and overwhelmed that my children have been returned to me safely. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office, the media, and the public for all of their help in assuring the safe return of my children."

Greg Leavitt, who spoke publically for the first time Friday, has denied any media requests for a second interview.

Angela Levitt's 16-year-old boyfriend was found Monday in Pensacola. He called police after arriving on a Greyhound bus from Texas. He was later reunited with his parents.

Leavitt and the 16-year-old has been missing since June 3rd. Deputies say the two quit their jobs the same day and then ran away together.

Hey, y’all! It’s obvious we’re starting to enjoy each other’s company, and meeting here to talk. Maybe we ought to take this discussion over to facebook or some such place. Any agreement? Until she goes to trial there won’t be much more newsworthy items about Santa Rosa County: ditto Baldwin, for that matter. WKRG will soon freeze this carnival, I imagine.

“Older women, make beautiful lovers
Older women, they understand
I’ve been around some, and I have discovered
That older women know just how to please a man.” wink

“estrogen starts slowing and the sex drive will go to hell in a hand basket,” Oh my gosh, I must have missed that office memo. It must have gone out after I retired.

OK I can tell the testosterone is flowing freely here but seriously I cannot imagine what a 16 year old would find attractive about an aged woman with 2 children in tow.  Besides the obvious reason, this woman had nothing to offer this kid.  Think about it people, she is 12 years his senior and she may have the libido now but give her4 or 5 years and the old estrogen starts slowing and the sex drive will go to hell in a hand basket, just about the time this young man will be in his prime.

I still say that this woman is trying to regain her youth at the expense of this young man.  Angela was in this for her own pleasure and fulfillment and when times got tough she put him on a greyhound and bought her and the children plane tickets.....  Wake up young people, older pervs only want you for one thing and then they will discard you like yesterday’s coffee.

HAHAHA, i agree with KxVx on that one. She does put those Mobile prostitutes to shame. grin

to The Wife and KxVx, Y’all are right; and I was the one that said ”sweet and innocent“ in one of the other articles. It’s the job of a portraitist to make us look fabulous, but the Jailhouse mugshooter needs only a sharp, well-focused ID shot for his|her files. Like you, KxVx, I still find her pretty good-looking even in this shot. Her hair is darker too; I’m a sucker for brunettes, AND straying a little off-topic!
Let us ask the Lord for Justice to be Merciful in this case, at least. Excessive punishment will not serve us well.

I don’t know, MISSISSIPPI, she still looks like a super model compared to the mug shots in the Prostitution Sting article!

The mug shot looks like she is a washed up road ho.  Remember the saying a picture says a thousand words.

Tonster, my comment was only because of the original picture which was released. Someone said she looked sweet and innocent.
This young woman has made a very serious mistake and she has just begun to realize it. My prayers are with her, her family and everyone involved.

Thank you, WKRG. The childrens’ pictures no longer serve a useful purpose.
To The wife:She doesn’t look so sweet and innocent in this picture, does she?
She looks very tired, somewhat unkempt, and worried about many things. Jailhouse pictures could make the Lord Jesus look bad, Ma’am. She’ll look much better after a shower and some sleep. Were I to see her in line paying for groceries up thisaway, and looking like that, I’d be polite, and try to strike up a conversation with her.
What she really needs is to unburden herself to a friend, away from the harsh light and crowds. That would help her steel herself to facing an uncertain, near-term adverse Future.
KxVx, that’s good, clear thinking.
To all others: I think this story has enough commentary now, and it has come time to pay attention to more recent events. Let the Principals in the matter now heal their hurts and pay just debts that may be due.
I am ceasing my 2¢ worth as of now.
Roll, Tide!
