A Starkville man who went missing Wednesday has been located in Florida.
The Starkville Police Department Friday downgraded the report on Mark Jarrod Wroten, of 202 Greenbriar Street, from a missing person to a welfare concern. Wroten, 54, is in Florida to visit a sick relative and has made contact with family members there, Starkville police said in a press release.
He still may be considered as a vulnerable adult since he is not taking his seizure medication, police said.
Wroten was last seen in Starkville late Wednesday morning walking with a light wooden cane in the Greenbriar subdivision.
A motorcycle accident 20 years ago causes Wroten to walk with a limp and have the mental capacity of a young teenager, police said.
Wroten took no food, clothing or medication with him when he last left his residence. He is on medication for seizures, police said.
It was unclear early Friday how he got to Florida.
