A Portland man was reported missing and endangered Sunday in Skamania County hours after deputies jump-started his car.
Joseph Ronald Sizemore’s red Ford Focus broke down on the side of Washougal River Road near Milepost 17. After calling his girlfriend from the Washougal River Mercantile, Skamania County deputies came to help around 11:45 a.m., giving him some gas and a jump-start, said Undersheriff Dave Cox.
The 42-year-old told the deputies he was driving home to his residence on Northeast Halsey Street, but family members say he didn’t return home. He’s considered a missing endangered person because of his mental state, according to the sheriff’s office.
Sizemore is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and 275 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees him is asked to call the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office at 509-427-9490 or call 911.
