14-Year Old Left Home/got Kicked Out. What Do You Think About It?

Question by Negotiator: 14-year old left home/got kicked out. What do you think about it?
We have a troublesome teenager, who has an attitude problem, and lives the life of a criminal (steals, smokes and sells pot, does other drugs etc, was caught by police, because he and his friend robbed a guy his age, etc). Yesterday, there was a serious argument, and he got very pissed and tried to leave home at 11pm. After I tried to talk some sense into him and wouldn’t let him out at 11pm by blocking the door, he kept saying that he needs to leave home because of his emotions, after which he got “really mad” and tried to attack me with a knife. I got him secured and we called the police. However, his mom got scared of police, and she said not to tell them to come, because she didn’t want him to go to jail, especially knowing that he already got a record for threatening. After that, we talked with him a bit, and he kept saying that he wants to leave, and he wants to go and leave on the streets rather than with us. He didn’t know but the last part of our talk, where he said he doesn’
After that, we talked with him a bit, and he kept saying that he wants to leave, and he wants to go and leave on the streets rather than with us. He didn’t know but the last part of our talk, where he said he doesn’t want to live with us and live on the streets, was recorder to a voice recorder, and so we agreed that we’ll let him go, and he left.

However, after that, we found out from his mom that he said that one of his friends had a birthday and he tried to ask mom if he could go there. She told him no, since he was grounded for his behaviour, and he always wants to go out to chill with his idiot friends any day of the week. So, when he left at night, we figured that he was actually bluffing and simply went to his friend’s birthday and all his behaviour was just a scene he was making.
So, all of us agreed not to let him back in the house when he comes back. When he came the next evening, we gave him a list of the rules he must follow, and told him that he can only come back when he’ll follow those rules. The basic idea of the rules was that he is not to break the law and follow the rules of the house, which isn’t too much to ask. He left and as of right now, he’s been gone for 4 hours. Nobody went after him and nobody knows where he is.

Earlier in the evening, he claimed that nobody in family understands him, and there’s a lot of misunderstanding among everybody, and so I tried to talk to him calmly about what we expect of him and how can he make his life easier simply by listening to his family, and he said that he understood me – all that less than a couple of hours prior to his “outbreak”.
This guy was always really stubborn and he almost always was getting everything the way he wanted it (his mom was really soft raising him up). So, he might still think he’ll get it his way, although even his mom wants to teach him a lesson once and for all, since he’s been really troublesome for the past 2 years. Also, he’s been diagnosed with ODD (oppositional defiance disorder – he hates any kind of authority).
Anyway, what do you suggest we make out of it? Do you think he’ll come back? And if he does – how long will it take him? Can WE get into any trouble with police for “kicking a minor out”, even though he actually left by his own free will and obviously thought we’ll let it slide?
Please don’t talk about anything that no longer can be changed – like whatever happened before, and how wrong was it to let him do anything he wanted his way – his mom understands that now, and so nothing more can be changed. Also, I KNOW how dumb headed teens can be sometimes (especially with ODD), so I don’t want you to waste your time or mine telling me about it.
