Chelsea Richards, 29, is described as 5’5″ tall, about 180 pounds, with brownish blonde hair that has a red streak. Richards left around 5 p.m. Sunday from the home, in the 56000 block of 48th Avenue Lawrence, in Arlington Township.

Richards has a history of mental issues and is required to take medication on a daily basis.

Deputies tell us, she may have accepted a ride from passing motorists, but that’s not known at this time. She does have ties to the Kalamazoo area.

Richards was last seen wearing black pants, black shoes and a black jacket. If you know anything, call the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department at 269-657-2006.
