FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Prosecutors have asked a judge to return a 9-year-old eastern Arizona boy awaiting sentencing in the death of his father's friend to juvenile detention.
Apache County Attorney Michael Whiting says the boy violated numerous conditions of his furlough, including leaving the state without permission and missing court-ordered schooling sessions.
He says no conditions imposed on the boy can guarantee his safety or that of the community and that he should be returned to custody.
A hearing scheduled for Tuesday has been reset for June 16.
The boy pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in the death of Timothy Romans. Prosecutors dropped a charge of premeditated murder stemming from the death of the boy's father as part of a plea deal.
