BOZEMAN, Mont. — A runaway juvenile case in Bozeman ended with a suspect under arrest after officers found the juvenile at a home in the city.
A City of Bozeman press release said officers responded on Oct. 13, 2026, after a report said the juvenile was in Bozeman with an adult man. Investigators also reported information that the man had a firearm and was involved in sexual conduct with the juvenile.
According to the city, officers went to the suspect’s home and found both the man and the juvenile there. Detectives then learned he had contacted the juvenile on Snapchat and persuaded them to leave home and come to Bozeman.
Police reported the victim had been kept there since Oct. 8. The suspect was charged with custodial interference, aggravated sexual intercourse without consent, aggravated kidnapping and grooming of a child.
He was being held on a $750,000 bond.
Detectives were also looking into other possible victims, according to Bozeman police. Anyone with information was asked to call dispatch at 406-582-2000.
