KANNAPOLIS — A man missing for four days was found Tuesday night in Florence County,
S.C.A Florence County
sheriff’s deputy found Noel Matthew “Matt” Harrison, 33, of 2409
Pennsylvania Ave., Kannapolis at 8:45 p.m. last night. He spotted Harrison walking with
his dog along a road, Kannapolis Police Lt. David James said.
Harrison’s sister drove there
from Kannapolis Tuesday night to pick him up.
Florence County straddles
Interstate 95 in northeast South Carolina. A spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department
could not provide more information today about how Harrison got there.
Harrison and his dog, Princess, a
4-month-old female chow-Rottweiler mix, had been missing since Friday morning. His sister
and legal guardian, JoAnn Marie Harrison, had last heard him taking a shower Thursday
night.
Matt Harrison, who is mentally
disabled, had left without money or the medicine he needs for epileptic seizures. He had
never run away before, JoAnn Harrison said.
Authorities believe he may have
been heading to 84 Fern Lane, Lake Worth, Fla., where he had lived previously for 10 years
with his late mother. He has lived with his sister in Kannapolis for about two months. She
could not be reached for comment this morning. |
