Sheriff's officials say they have found the 9-year-old boy who ran away from home Thursday evening in Imperial Beach, prompting an area-wide search that involved the agency's helicopter.
The boy's mother said she and her son had an argument about his homework. After taking a nap Thursday afternoon, she found the 9-year-old was missing, according to the The San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The mother called 911 just before 7 p.m.
One of the child's teachers reported last seeing him in the 800 block of Seacoast Drive talking to a homeless person between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Sheriff's spokesperson Jan Caldwell told NBC 7 the boy was found on his bike at the main gate of NAS Coronado at about 10 p.m.
