**UPDATE: At 3:15 a.m., the Orange County Sheriff’s Office announced that a search team had located Turner about 8.5 hours after he was first reported missing. “Emergency medical personnel transported him for medical treatment,” wrote the office. “No further information about his condition is available at this time.” The sheriff’s office says seven other first-response agencies aided in the search for Turner.

The original story is below:

Orange County authorities said they are searching for a Hillsborough resident on Monday night and turned to the public for help in locating him.

An Orange County Alerts message shared at 7:49 p.m. said Dean Turner was reported missing and had not returned home after leaving his residence around Oakland Drive after 11:30 a.m. In the message, authorities said Turner recently suffered a stroke and is experiencing some mobility issues.

Turner is described as a 57-year-old white male, who stands at 5-foot-10, weighs around 160 pounds, and who has salt-and-pepper hair and a goatee. He is believed to be wearing a black button-up shirt, green hiking pants, blue sneakers, a dark brown hat, and eyeglasses. The OC Alerts message also said Turner uses two walking sticks.
