BRILLION, Wis. (WFRV) - Authorities are looking for a missing and endangered teen from Calumet County who was last seen Friday afternoon after school.

Demarcus Brooks, 14
Around 1:55 a.m. on Saturday morning, officers were sent to a home for reports of a juvenile runaway. Demarcus' mother told officers that she last spoke to him on the phone when he called her from school around 3:45 p.m. asking permission to go to his friend’s house after school.
Demarcus' mother reportedly agreed but told him to be home by 9:30 that night, however, he never came home.
It was also described in the release that the teen threatened earlier in the week that he would run away to another city because he wasn't allowed to go to his wrestling meet. They reportedly have family living in Kansas.
Brooks is described as 5'05", 208 pounds, and has brown eyes, a scar on his left cheek, and black hair with short tight curls. Officers say he was last seen wearing blue Jeans, a tan or brown shirt, camo boots, a camo backpack, and a dark blue jacket with lighter blue trim.
