SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, Fla - A Seminole Heights family is asking the public to help them find a loved one.
Ben McClendon, 67, voluntarily left his home at 3516 N. 10th Street around 2 p.m. on Sunday. He, nor his small terrier dog, Mr. Brown, have been seen since.
McClendon suffers from brain damage and other medical ailments as a result of car crash in 2000. His sister, Bertha, said he takes medication and is also in the early stages of dementia. However, he should be able to identify himself verbally.
"It is rough," said Berth.
Bertha has scoured the streets looking for her brother. Family members told ABC Action News McClendon has wandered away from the home before but has always returned unharmed. He is known to frequent local parks and stores near his home.
McClendon is 5'9" and weighs 175 lbs. He has brown eyes and gray hair. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans and black and white shoes.
Anyone who sees McClendon should immediately call Tampa Police.
