An Anderson County man reported missing on October 10 has been located in Georgia, authorities said.

Michael David Miller, who is in his early 40s, was stopped by the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Department after a “hit” on his license plate showed him as a missing person, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department said Tuesday. Miller and his vehicle had been entered into the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC, as a missing person.

Miller told Gwinnett County deputies he was okay and just wanted to “get away” for a while. Gwinnett County deputies contacted Anderson County authorities, confirmed he was a missing person, and said he appeared to be in no distress and was in good health. Miller was asked to contact his family, and with no reason to detain him, Gwinnett County deputies released him. [Read more…]
