He has been returned safely to his family.
He was found in the Tanglewood neighborhood not far from where he was reported missing, and no foul play was involved, deputies said.
Investigators said it appears there was a miscommunication between the boy and his family about where he was supposed to be and where he was.
When the boy was found by first responders, he was unaware there was an ongoing search for him, deputies said.
