Police have found a 15-year-old boy who was last seen Thursday leaving his Midvale high school.
Ricky Marrott had not been heard from since he walked out of Hillcrest High School after classes last week. But he was found Monday afternoon by the Utah Highway Patrol near Interstate 15 and 2100 South.
Unified Police Department said there was no evidence to suggest that Marrott was taken against his will. But, according to a news release issued before the teen was found, officers had "exhausted all plausible leads.”
