Propst had just completed serving 21 days in juvenile detention, his second stint this summer.
"Juvenile Justice called and told me 'In case you're not aware, he's on the loose again,'" Springfield Police Chief Philip Thorne told WJHG.
Authorities were able to use Facebook to determine that Propst was driving to meet a friend in Dothan.
Jackson County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Propst while he was cruising toward the Alabama state line.
According to Thorne, Propst also admitted to trying to steal his mother's car.
"When he's facing something he doesn't like, he lashes out by running and stealing things," Thorne said of Propst. "We've tried asking him to see if there's something, and I would hope and assume that somebody at DJJ, while he's been incarcerated, would have tried to counsel him, but apparently he's not ready to open up to whatever his issues are and seek help or seek change."
