A juvenile runaway from Ohio was located in a Hays apartment following a disturbance call to the police.

Hays Police Department Chief Don Scheibler said a call made on Sept. 17 from someone living in the apartment led to the discovery of the juvenile.

"This was a disturbance call initially but when officers got there, they had a runaway which had been found," he said.

The caller reported that she was living with a runaway from Ohio.

Scheibler said the juvenile had been living at the residence since July 1 before being discovered on Sept. 17. The juvenile was identified and taken into custody to be returned to Ohio.

Nineteen-year-old suspect Logan Joseph Bryan Douglass was arrested for alleged child misconduct related to sheltering or concealing a runaway.

Twenty-year-old Kiersten Angel Satterfield was also arrested for aggravated interference contributing to child misconduct.

Both Hays residents were arrested and booked into the Ellis County Jail.
