COLUMBIA, S.C. — Columbia Police say Theodore Cooley has been located safe and in good condition after he had been reported missing after leaving a medical transport vehicle. He has been taken to a local hospital to determine if he needs medical assistance.
According to reports, on August 30, the 53-year-old Cooley was being transported from Colleton County Medical Center to West Columbia in a hospital transport vehicle.
Officers say he'd been released from the Colleton County facility but sometime before he reached the West Columbia location, he left the transport vehicle without permission.
Police say he was later seen that day at the Truist Bank on Columbia's Main Street. Police say it's possible he may still be wearing blue hospital scrubs.
