A teenage boy from Butler County picked up by two out-of-state men wound up in… Missouri.

Adams Township Police say two men from Arkansas met the 15-year-old on social media.

Authorities say Nicholas Padgett and Nathaniel Archer convinced the teen to hit the road with them and also take $150,000 in silver from his parents.

The boy eventually called 911 from a motel in Saint Robert, Missouri.

Padgett and Archer were arrested and are facing numerous charges and extradition.

Police advise parents to be vigilant about their children's social media activity.
