If anybody's in that area, 8-4 in California, I have nobody up or in a backlog right now. But (name withheld) is 76, 6-3, 235 pounds. And can you tell me what he's wearing or? Squads, there's an officer on the traffic spot right there at that location, but (name withheld) has on dark colors. He has on his fireman sweater. All right. Okay, we don't have anybody else that's turning down California right now. Okay, is there somebody over there in California that we don't know about? Or maybe it's an outside unit? 831. It looks like it's BP, but I'm on the way back from grease and oil. I can write over there. Okay, 831, thanks. Sorry? Okay, 835 had this earlier, and he was familiar with a guy. He has a history of dementia, delusional disorder. (name withheld). He was wearing at the time a Navy fireman puppy coat in all black clothing and black boots, and that's what it sounds like he still has on, possibly. And he was at 84th in California. He's missing out of Crestwood from the nursing home over there. But he originally lives at 2707 West 84th Street, so he might be trying to go that way again. The house is vacant at this time, so we're just going to put you on that location. I'll copy the information from that ticket that we had, and I'll put it on your box so you have it. And they say to use caution, okay, he was known to carry weapons. He probably doesn't have access, I would hope, at this time, because he is in a nursing home or supposed to be. I got him, sweat. You got him, okay. Thank you so much, the district. You guys, be safe and have a good day. Okay, we'll notify the point two for Crestwood.
