A man was arrested after he was accused of flying from Florida to Utah to marry a teen, officials said.

Guy picked the teen up from her home and 'began driving East on I-80 with her quickly leaving Utah,' deputies said. GPS showed she was at a gas station in Wyoming so deputies informed the state's highway patrol, officials said. About 2 1/2 hours later, troopers found and arrested Guy. The teen was sent 'to a youth home in Wyoming so she could be reunited with her family,' deputies said. Guy rented a car and picked up the teen from her home 'without her parents' knowledge or consent to marry her,' arrest documents obtained by ABC 4 said.
