JSO said due to Bethel’s incoherent behavior he was taken to the hospital for evaluation. After a short stay in the facility, Bethel is said to have called an unknown person who is believed to have picked him up on Saturday afternoon when he was released.
JSO said Bethel was found again.
Before he was at the hospital, Bethel was last seen Thursday afternoon on Lane Avenue North, just north of Commonwealth Avenue.
On Saturday, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive search along the Lane Avenue corridor.
