Details

At approximately 9:30pm, Madison Police Officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of Williamson Street regarding a missing juvenile complaint. An 11-year-old boy was reported missing by his mother and was last seen at his residence on Williamson Street around 8:00pm.

There was concern for the child's welfare; as such, 16 Madison Police Officers, Sergeants, and a K9 Officer responded to the child's last known location and to be part of a search team. That search team included UAS resources in addition to patrol officers on foot and mobile in squad cars. A WCAN Alert was sent out for public dissemination as well.

Ultimately, the child was located unharmed at 10:39pm. He was found 3.6 miles from his home at a Madison Gas Station and after Officers ensured his welfare, returned him to his mother. The WCAN Alert has since been cancelled.
