JACKSONVILLE -- A man reported missing from a Florida hospital was
found in North Carolina dressed like a doctor and driving a stolen ambulance
with a dead deer wedged in the back, authorities said.
Leon Holliman Jr., 37, was reported missing from a River Region Human
Services facility in Jacksonville last month. The North Carolina State
Highway Patrol found him driving the ambulance with the deer on Sunday.
``I don't know how the man got it up in there,'' said Sgt. Robert
Pearson. ``It was a six point buck.''
It wasn't known where Holliman got the deer, which had been dead for
some time, Pearson said.
Authorities tracked the stolen ambulance through three rural North
Carolina counties and one county in southern Virginia before its tires were
punctured and it wound up in a ditch, Pearson said.
Holliman was admitted to a North Carolina hospital for a psychiatric
evaluation. Police said they would decide whether to charge Holliman after
that evaluation is complete.
