He has recent arrests for burglary, assault, and possession of meth. IMO he may be voluntarily missing if he's in violation of probation. (WV Circuit Courts, www.searchquarry.com). If you look at an older mugshot, it looks like he may have a tattoo on the lower side of his neck which may be distinguishing.

I’m glad he was found. I’m originally from the surrounding area. I only know him peripherally, not personally. I wondered if he’d just been staying with friends, maybe losing time with drugs. There is little to no cell phone connectivity in that region. Even when you can get it, it often drops. If people don’t have home phones (again, many don’t), then you’re not going to be able to contact family to let them know you’re ok. Many cannot afford WiFi and it’s tough to bounce off anyone else’s because of the rural nature of the region, and the mountains. These are poverty stricken areas. When “King Coal” started pulling out a few decades ago, there were less jobs and it keeps progressing as such to this day. Drugs are rampant. I hope he’s ok, as it says he was found in a hospital. The roads in the region are very curvy, not well kept and dangerous. It’s nothing to drive way up on a mountain, where there’s a perilous drop to the valley floor. Guard rails aren’t always well maintained either. There’s so many reasons he could be hurt. Anyway, just some insight from a local. jmo
