For near Skylane Dr, can you tell me how many incidents we've been over here for the last week?

I'm missing elderly male.

One,
00:25
two reports were done in the end of August, and it looks like the male was assisted once, and then this incident you're on right now.
00:37
Okay, yeah, I guess this male took, I guess this male drove to his daughter's house on West 4th, that's right around here,
00:44
continued to ask to go home, his daughter brought him back here, he kept saying that he doesn't live here,
00:51
drove back to his daughter's house, they walked him over here, if he continued to say this is not where he lives, then if he took up the third time, that's when she called.

So it's been going on for the last week, I guess, he's been taken off and refusing to come in the house.
01:04
He says he doesn't live here, so we're going to end up taking him to Metro hospital for an evaluation.
01:13
Can you just let Metro know? He's not combative or anything like that, but he might get a little irritated when we take him over there.
01:22
Is he going to be pink slip[1]ped?
01:27
I'm gonna pink slip[1] him just because I believe he might be a danger to himself and from what the wife is saying that he gets highly aggressive towards her and they have an autistic son so I'm most likely gonna just pink slip him for this.
