WM Police 21 Feb 11
Walsall police are appealing for help in tracing a man who has been missing from the town since Saturday (19 February).
David Meadows, aged 49, is considered vulnerable as he suffers from mental health illness.
He was last seen at 11.10am on Saturday, when he left the Dorothy Pattison Hospital in Walsall to go to the shops and didn’t return. Mr Meadows is a voluntary in-patient at the hospital.
Mr Meadows, from Chuckery, has been missing before and police are worried that without medication he will become ill.
They are appealing for Mr Meadows or anyone who knows his whereabouts or anyone who has seen him, not to approach him directly, but to contact police as soon as possible.
Inspector Paul Richards, from Walsall police, said: “Mr Meadows is known to visit Birmingham, Skegness and Barmouth and we are liaising with the appropriate forces. Without medication Mr Meadows may behave unpredictably so we would ask people who recognise his photo not to approach him but to let police know where he is.”
Mr Meadows is described as white, 5’10 with short brown hair, a full beard and wears glasses. When he went missing he was wearing black jogging bottoms, a dark coloured jacket with dark leather patches on the shoulders and a rip at the back.
Anyone with information should contact police at Walsall on 0345 113 5000.
