The Houma Police Department is requesting assistance in locating a runaway juvenile, Jaccobi Williams 13 yrs old, who ran away from the MacDonnell’s Children’s Home, 8326 Main Street on July 12, 2020.

 

On July 12, shortly after 7pm, Houma Police responded to the MacDonnell’s Children’s Home in reference to two juvenile males who departed the facility without permission. Upon arrival, it was discovered that Jaccobi Williams and another 15-yr. old male ran away. While patrolling the area, items such as clothing, possibly belonging to the juveniles were located within the 1500 block of Sylvia Street.
