Morrisville police have found the Tyquon Malik Brewington, who went missing from the 5000 block of Trinity Village Lane in Raleigh on Saturday.

An officer with a K9 backed the child out of a thickly-wooded area.

Morrisville Police Chief Patrice Andrews said Brewington was found because of a tip from a nearby apartment complex.

"The biggest fear was the heat because it was going to be upwards of 100 degrees, and knowing what we knew about Tyquon and the land where he was, we knew it was very important to find him. We had a lot of help from a lot of agencies," she said.

Andrews said the boy hadn't had water or eaten anything in over a day.

"He had not eaten in a day or so, and it was just melons and Jolly Ranchers, no water and nothing to drink."

His father, who did not want to be identified, said he called family members early Monday morning.

"He was using a fake name, but we knew it was his voice," he said.

His father said it is not the first time he has run away from home.
