A 42-year-old Tampa man gave food, shelter and water to a minor runaway and stayed close to her while she worked as a prostitute, Tampa police say.
Police arrested Lamar Borders about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday. Police say he got cash from the girl's prostitution proceeds.
Borders, of 6204 N. 22nd St., was charged with providing shelter to a minor runaway and deriving support from the proceeds of prostitution.
He told police he had looked out for the girl for days and had seen her for a few years in the area, an arrest report states. The girl told police that Borders knew she was a minor and a reported runaway.
Borders remains in jail. His bail was set $2,500.
