CHARLOTTE, NC — A silver alert for a missing Charlotte man with dementia has been canceled after he was located in Houston, Texas Wednesday morning, according to police.

The silver alert was issued for Roberto Arteaga-Rodriguez earlier this week after the 67-year-old man went missing over the weekend, and had not been seen by his family since Sunday.

According to a police report, Roberto Arteaga-Rodriguez, 67, was last seen Sept. 30 at his brother’s home in the Steele Creek area of southwest Charlotte. His daughter, Dalia Arteaga, told officers that her father has been diagnosed with dementia and that his family is extremely concerned about him.

Arteaga-Rodriguez drives a black 2014 Ford LGT pickup truck with a North Carolina temporary tag #24372575. He is described as 5-foot, 5-inches tall, about 200 pounds with brown eyes and black and grey hair that is cut short. He was last seen wearing blue shorts, a grey T-shirt and black sandals, according to the police report.

Wednesday morning, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Arteaga-Rodriguez had been located by Houston police officers and had been transported to an area hospital. His family is making arrangements to reunite with him, CMPD added.
