Police issue Silver Alert for adult man possibly affected by Alzheimer's

The Delray Beach Police Department has issued an urgent news release on a missing adult from the city. Ernest Brown is 5-foot, 6-inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. Brown resides at 230 NW Seventh Ave. and was born March 9, 1928. He's missing and authorities aren't sure what type of clothing he was wearing.

Brown drives a white 1996 Ford F-150 pick-up truck with Florida tag N49 0ME.

Brown may be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In the past, during bouts of suspected Alzheimer's, he's driven off south to Broward County and another time north toward Orlando and Orange County.

Delray Beach Police Department Public Information Officer Jeffrey Messer said in an e-mail:

"Mr. Brown has been entered into NCIC and is in the Florida Silver Alert system.
If anyone comes in contact with him please contact the law enforcement agency for that area."

Anyone with any other information on this case is asked to call Det. Jason Jabcuga at 561-243-6220.
