Police Find Dangerous Juvenile Who Threatened Sioux Falls School

Sioux Falls Police found a Juvenile who was allegedly making terroristic threats with a weapon outside one of the city's schools.

Sioux Falls Police Public Information Officer Sam Clemens stated during the Thursday morning police briefing that the SFPD was asking for the public's help locating a 15-year-old.

The 15-year-old was allegedly making terroristic threats and had a weapon outside of Axtell Park Middle School at 201 West Ave.

On Wednesday afternoon Sioux Falls Police received a call that a person was outside Axtell Park school with a weapon.

Police arrived and found the individual who was taken into custody for having a weapon on school grounds and making terroristic threats.

The individual's name is Davion Bridges. He was described as a black man, 5 foot 8 inches tall, weighing about 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing blue jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt.

Bridges was taken to a juvenile facility where he escaped.

Clemmens clarified that the suspect “did not escape police custody he escaped the custody of the juvenile facility”.

The Sioux Falls Police Dept. does not normally talk about juvenile crime but in this case, they received a court order that allows them to release some specific information related to being able to find him and get him taken back into custody.

Later Thurday morning the Sioux Falls Police Department sent out an email stating that “Davion Bridges was found during briefing and is back in custody.”
