BATH, N.Y. (WUSA/Gannett) - Three Maryland men were charged Monday in Bath, accused of trying to take a 16-year-old Shortsville, N.Y., girl to Maryland after one of the men met her online.

The Ontario County Sheriff's Office issued an Amber alert at about 9:50 a.m. for the girl, who they thought went into an SUV with Maryland or Virginia license plates to go out of state. Police found a vehicle matching the description about 10 minutes after the alert was posted. They stopped the vehicle for an inspection on Interstate 86 in Bath.
