An 86-year-old Eau Claire man who was the subject of a Silver Alert was located safe in Shawano County by sheriff’s deputies Tuesday evening.
Donald Skinner was reported missing shortly after not returning home from a breakfast at an Eau Claire restaurant about 10 a.m. His family contacted Eau Claire police and an alert was issued.
Shawano County authorities were notified that Skinner was driving a 2004 Chrysler and might be on state Highway 29. He had reportedly been seen heading east from Wausau around 6:15 p.m. going about 35 mph, according to the sheriff’s report.
A deputy spotted the vehicle near U.S. Highway 45 near Wittenberg.
Capt. Tom Tuma said Skinner was “suffering from a medical condition and was rendered aid.”
No further information was being released.
“He was located and his family was notified,” Tuma said.
