Minneapolis police find missing 10-year-old boy

Police have found a 10-year-old boy who had been missing from his south Minneapolis home.

Police hadn't been suspicious about Ashton Wyatt Anderson's disappearance, but they were concerned about him, said Minneapolis Police Sgt. William Palmer. Ashton has some underlying health problems and had left home without being dressed for the cold weather.

Palmer said the Richfield Police Department called late Monday afternoon to say Ashton had been found in Richfield.

Police declined to release any further details about the disappearance.
