Police found a Spokane man suffering from dementia after he disappeared Saturday morning.

Robert A. Cobb walked away from the 100 block of Quay Street around 6 a.m. When he didn’t return by 10 a.m., his family called Kennewick police.

Cobb gets confused at times and wanders away from where he is staying., and he was unfamiliar with the area. While he normally calls his wife to pick him up, they didn’t hear from him, police said.

Police reported they found him shortly after 5 p.m. Officer Cory McGee said someone spotted him near the Southridge Sports Complex and called police.
