Cheyenne police are still searching for a 15-year-old boy who ran away from home last month, and are reminding those who may be housing him that it is illegal to do so.

According to a department Facebook post, Jonathan Davisson ran away from the 4500 block of Ontario Avenue, which sits just south of Dell Range Boulevard between N. College Drive and Dildine Elementary School, in the early hours of Sunday, Sept. 25.

"I've heard he's staying with a friend of a friend. And I don't know who that is," Davisson's mom, Elaine Williams, posted on her Facebook page.

Police say "for those who may be allowing Jonathan to stay with them, it is a criminal offense to harbor a runaway juvenile."
