WE PORT RICHEY, Fla. – Three men were arrested in connection with the disappearance of an 11-year-old Florida girl who was the subject of an amber alert.
An amber alert was issued Monday for Montana Breseman, who was found safe Tuesday in Tampa, according to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.

Luis Alberto Encarnacion, 22, and two other men were arrested in the case, Nocco said.

“It makes no logical sense for a 22-year-old man to be with an 11-year-old unless there are horrible things that would happen in that place,” Nocco said. “In his mind, he thought Louis was her boyfriend. We all know this is not real. What is real is that Louis acted like a predator.
Authorities said the man and the girl are believed to have come into contact with each other through social media.
Before meeting Breseman, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office released a surveillance video showing her at a 7-Eleven, where she gets into a car.
The men who picked her up were identified by Nocco as Reginald Clark, 17, of Jacksonville, and Jonathon MacGregor, 19, of Clearwater. Detectives later contacted them, but Breseman was not with them. Both were arrested on charges of interfering with the custody of a minor.
Nocco said authorities are trying to determine if the two are connected to Incarnation.
As of Tuesday morning, Nocco said Breseman is still in the custody of the sheriff’s office and his agency is working with the state to find him a stable home.

“His mother is in the county jail. His father is nowhere near the picture. She has gone from one adverse childhood experience to another, “Nocco said.” She seeks that stability, that caring nature, that most children give themselves to life. “
Nocco said Breseman lived in Thonotosassa, Hillsborough County, and attends River Ridge Middle School.
