SPARTANBURG, SC (FOX Carolina) -

A Spartanburg man missing since Wednesday was found safe Friday evening.

Deputies said Paul Brannon Jr. was last seen at his sister's home on Hillanddale Drive. They said Brannon is a stroke victim who has trouble speaking and walking, which is why they were concerned for his safety.

Investigators said Brannon was found safe at a mission in downtown Spartanburg, after the shelter's director saw Brannon's picture in the media.
