Gardiner police are asking for the public’s help in locating a teenage boy who was last seen by his parents late Saturday night.

Police said local police agencies have been notified that 14-year-old Michael J. Booth, a freshman at Gardiner High School, left his home on Winter Street around 9 p.m. Saturday. At the time, family members said Booth was wearing bluejeans, black sneakers and a gray thermal shirt.

“No one has seen or heard from him since then,” said the boy’s grandmother, Margaret Shannon, of Clinton.

Gardiner police met with all of the high school’s freshman class on Monday morning, but none of Booth’s classmates admitted to knowing his whereabouts.

Anyone with information about Booth is encouraged to contact the Maine State Police at 624-7076.
