UPDATE: Carlos has been found. He is fine and he is safe.

We are looking for this 13 year old boy. He was last seen in the 2300 block of Pleasant around 4:00 pm this afternoon. His name is Carlos. He was last seen wearing a red short sleeve shirt, grey/black shorts and carrying a black backpack. He is about 5 feet tall and weighs around 90 pounds.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Westcom dispatch at (515) 222-3321 or their local law enforcement agency.

We responded to an alleged threat at Valley Southwoods around 11:00 AM today. The issue was reported to school administration who contacted the police. An officer made immediate contact with the suspect who is being identified only as a juvenile student at the school. That suspect was removed from the campus and taken to Juvenile Court Intake. No acts of violence occurred. No weapons were found on campus.

We appreciate our strong relationships with schools in the city. “We have a School Resource Officer program which has helped tremendously,” said Sergeant Dan Wade. “These open lines of communication really support quick responses to these calls.”

Our detectives are completing this investigation. Operations at the school were not interrupted.
