HB police find missing man

Holmes Beach police officers located an 88-year-old man around 2:30 a.m. July 8 — one day after the man was classified as “missing and endangered.”

The man, who apparently suffers from dementia, went missing July 7. He was thought to be driving a silver Honda, leading police to ask the public for help locating him, according to a July 8 report from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

“Thank you to the Holmes Beach Police Department and the public for their assistance in returning (the man) home safely,” the HCSO report states.
