Frenchtown Twp., MI – A K-9 and drone unit were utilized to help authorities locate an 85-year-old man with Alzheimer’s. Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough reports that the search began at around 2:48pm Monday afternoon in Frenchtown Township when the Department received word that the 85-year old had wandered away from an elderly care facility.
