UPDATE: Missing metro-east man found safe
A good Samaritan is being credited with coming to the aid of a dementia patient who'd wandered away from a New Athens nursing home.
Eighty-four year old Arthur Crowl was discovered missing just after 7 a.m. Wednesday by staff at the New Athens Home for the Aged on South Johnson Street.
New Athens Detective Ray Wilson says Crowl had been wearing only pajamas when he was found walking along a side road just after 8 a.m. A motorist picked him up, took him to a nearby gas station and called authorities.
Detective Wilson says Crowl was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but seemed to be unharmed.
