PURCELL, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities continued to search today for an 11-year-old Wayne boy who reportedly ran away from home.

McClain County sheriff's officials say Timothy Goines ran away about 10:30 PM Thursday.

A Purcell police officer spotted the boy walking along Interstate 35 early Friday morning, but the boy ran away from the officer.

McClain County Sheriff Don Hewett said his office wasn't aware of the missing boy until about 9 AM Friday, when his mother reported him gone.

The boy is described as white, about 4-feet, 2-inches tall and about 65 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white denim jacket with a blue stripe and blue jeans.
