POSEN, Ill. (WKOW) — Posen police officers arrested Morgan Geyser at a Thornton's truck stop on Western Avenue in Posen, Illinois on Sunday night after a report of Geyser and a man "loitering" behind the building.
Geyser, now 22, is known for her involvement in the 2014 "Slender Man" stabbing. She and another girl, Anissa Weier, admitted to stabbing a friend 19 times to appease the fictional character. The victim, Payton Leutner, survived the attack.
Geyser was found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and had been receiving treatment.
On Saturday around 8 p.m., she cut off her Department of Corrections GPS monitoring bracelet and left a group home in Madison.
Geyser was found Sunday around 9:54 p.m. sleeping on the sidewalk with a 42-year-old man, according to the Posen Police Department. The two had taken a bus to Posen, ABC7 Chicago reports.
Geyser initially provided a false name but later admitted her identity, saying she didn't want to reveal it because she had "done something really bad" and suggested officers Google her name. They did not release the name of the man.
