Early this morning, the Alliance Police Department received a tip that a runaway juvenile from Lawrence, KS may be in Alliance. Kuel Karbino Kuel, M/B 16 years old, had been missing since October 18th. Throughout the morning our communications center received several calls from citizens stating that they had spotted the juvenile, however, he continued to elude officers. At approximately 12:30pm, officers received another call that the juvenile was in the area of 1st St walking east toward Yellowstone. The clothing description was aired to all units and officers converged on the area. Officer Dahlberg spotted the juvenile who fled on foot. After a brief foot chase, Officer Dahlberg was able to apprehend the juvenile and detain him to check his welfare and confirm his identity. The juvenile will also have local charges for marijuana possession. Arrangements are underway for an interstate transfer to have the juvenile transported back to Kansas. This is another great example of the exemplary work done by our officers here in Alliance!
