Perez said officers went to the scene and found the boy, who identified himself as Stom Sorrentino, who had been missing for several days and the subject of a nationwide search.

The boy has been turned over to Norwalk police in charge of the investigation, Perez said,

"At this point, we still don't know where he's been. I will tell you the location he's found is about 2.5-3 miles away from his mother's home," the lietenant said.

His mother, Kathryn Sorrentino, was ordered to jail by a judge who hoped to persuade the woman to tell authorities her son's location, but the woman insisted she didn't know and was released from jail.
