A 66-year-old man who suffers from a medical condition and may become disoriented went missing in Riverside, prompting a Silver Alert to be issued in six counties.
Jimmie Johnson was last seen Wednesday about 5 p.m. near Arlington Avenue and Tyler Street, according to the California Highway Patrol, which issued the alert that evening on behalf of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
Johnson may be wearing a dark blue shirt with beige and burgundy stripes, red pajama bottoms, brown slippers and a black hat, the CHP reported.
Johnson is described as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Silver Alerts for Johnson were issued Wednesday evening in Riverside, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Authorities circulated a photo of Johnson and urged anyone who sees him to call 911.
The Silver Alert program was established to issue and coordinate alerts involving the unexplained or suspicious disappearance of elderly, developmentally disabled and cognitively impaired individuals, according to the CHP.
