Police: Teen Missing from Juvenile Detention Center

Authorities are conducting a search in Parkville Tuesday for a teen who escaped from a youth detention center in the area, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

Police said the 17-year-old left at approximately 5 p.m. Monday with another youth from the Charles Hickey School, where he was incarcerated for a nonviolent offense. The second teen who escaped with him was located on Waltham Woods Road Monday, according to police.

Authorities said Leondro Ovalles Solano remains at large Tuesday afternoon, and police believe he is in the Parkville area.

Solano is described as a 17-year-old Hispanic man who is 6’ to 6’2” tall and 165 pounds. Police said he should be shirtless and may be mud-covered, and when last seen, he was wearing blue khaki pants and one tennis shoe.

Authorities were searching for the missing teen Tuesday afternoon around Old Harford Road and North shopping center, according to police.

The Charles Hickey School, located in the 9700 block of Old Harford Road, is a detention center for youths awaiting court or treatment placement.

To get out, the teens scaled a fence at the school, prompting a police search involving K-9 and aviation units, the Associated Press reported. One of the teens was found after 10 p.m. and taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries sustained while running away, the report said.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or police at 410-307-2020.
