SYRACUSE, Utah -- Police in Syracuse are asking for help locating a man with a diminished mental capacity last seen at his assisted living facility Monday night.

According to a press release, a Silver Alert has been issued for 66-year-old Sammie Hester, who is 6'3 and weighs 300 pounds. The man has gray hair and brown eyes and is known to travel on a black mobility scooter.

Police state he is non-verbal.

Hester was last seen Monday around 7 p.m. at Raintree Assisted Living, 2063 West 1900 South in Syracuse. He was reported missing to police around midnight.
