The high school student from Orofino, Idaho, who went missing after prom Saturday night has been located. 
 
 Kristian Perez, 17, was found early Tuesday morning at a residence in Orofino, the Orofino Police Department said in a news release. The teen was located in the home belonging to 26-year-old Tyson Imel after police followed a tip that he was staying there. 
 
 Perez went missing Saturday night after checking out of his high school prom around 9:30 p.m. His tuxedo jacket, one shoe and his broken cellphone were recovered near a vehicle driven by one of Perez’s relatives who drove the teen to prom that night. 
 
 A canine tracking team was able to follow Perez’s scent from where the prom took place at the National Guard Armory westward to a nearby parking lot along U.S. Highway 12, but the track was lost there, a previous news release stated. Police believed then that Perez may have entered a vehicle at that location. 
 
 Perez was found in good and health and was taken into custody without incident at about 12:45 a.m. Tuesday, police said. The teen is facing a runaway charge. 
 
 Idaho is one of nine states where that is a crime.

According to the Spokesman-Review, police found Perez's broken cellphone, tuxedo jacket, and one shoe near the car of a relative who had driven Perez to the dance. Police believed there was the possibility of foul play, KLEW reports. Police dogs followed Perez's scent to a parking lot near the prom but lost it there.
