GREENVILLE, Mich. — Public safety officials said Friday evening that a missing and endangered dementia patient from Greenville was found safe.
The Greenville Department of Public Safety (GDPS) says investigators spent the day Friday following up on leads.
Officers got a tip from someone who said they say the missing 68-year-old man on the city's west end— where officers found him a short while later.
GDPS says the man walked out of a hospital while being treated Thursday afternoon.
"Having a positive community partnership between law enforcement, community members and the media is invaluable, as demonstrated here [Friday]," Interim Director Brian K. Blomstrom said. "In this case, the media information broadcast alerted people to keep an eye out for [him], and after the last tip regarding him came to fruition, Sgt. Darren Jones and PSO Jamie Sorsen were both successfully able to make contact with him and help [him] obtain the medical assistance he needs."
