There will also be extra patrols in the area today to help ease some concerns.

Davis said that he does not believe that Rolon is in the immediate area right now, but that the department is continuing its investigative efforts to locate him.

On Friday, the department was receiving information that made officials believe Rolon was potentially in a wooded area on Spring Street. The department utilized numerous resources, including Trooper 1, the Capital Region Emergency Services Team, and Metro Traffic Services in an attempt to locate him.

Davis said that as the department filtered through the information in an effort to determine its credibility, he also requested that Charter Oak Park be closed to activities while the search was conducted.

The department also broadcast a reverse 911 call to area residents to let them know of the situation.
