Runaway male juveniles from Monuments Treatment Facility apprehended near Brian Head
By Dan Benson
On July 7 at around 6 p.m., two juveniles went missing from the Monuments Treatment Facility on Dry Lakes Road near Brian Head.
Iron County Sheriff’s Office along with Brian Head Marshal’s Office, a K-9 Unit from the Division of Wildlife Resources, and Iron County Search and Rescue with three of their scent dogs responded. The search was called off July 8 at about 1:30 a.m. when dogs became fatigued and tracks were difficult to see in the grass and brush.
On July 8 at approximately noon, a homeowner in Brian Head returned home to find items missing from her home. She immediately contacted the Brian Head Marshal’s Office, and a search of the area found multiple homes burglarized. Evidence was collected that suggested the two missing juveniles had been involved.
At that time, Iron County Sheriff’s Deputies along with Iron County Search and Rescue and the Division of Wildlife Resources K-9 were called back to assist with the search. A quick search of the area was conducted with no results. SUU Aviation was then called to assist with a helicopter.
At around 5 p.m., authorities received a tip that two male juveniles were in Parowan Canyon on SR-143. Units quickly responded to the area. The K-9 and his handler quickly picked up a scent that lead to the two juveniles, who were hiding in the brush along the highway. The pair turned themselves in to a sheriff’s deputy who was patrolling the area.
Brian Head Marshal’s Office is now handling the investigation and has the two juveniles in custody pending charges.
