Posted

CHICAGO — The teenager who walked away from school in Calhoun County more than a week ago has been found safe in Chicago.

Glenn Brown was located on Friday by Chicago police, per the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. The 15-year-old had been missing since May 7 when he left Pennfield High School.

Loved ones and officials spent days searching the area, turning up few clues of where Brown could be.

It was not unusual for him to disappear, according to family.

"This is either the 13th or 14th time in the past four years. We'll find him on the other side of town or down the road; it all varies," Brown's Stepdad Mike Music told FOX 17.
