Peter Gustavo Albrechtsen, whose parents reported him missing Monday, returned home Wednesday night.
A 17-year-old West Covina High School football player missing since he ran away from home on Sunday returned home Wednesday night, police said.
Peter Gustavo Albrechtsen "had just wanted to be by himself," said Lt. Ken Plunkett of the West Covina Police Department.
Peter is believed to have run away after an argument with his parents, though he had never run away before, Lt. David Lee said.
