PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland police were looking for a man with dementia who left home without his medicine Wednesday.

David Robert King, 86, was last seen leaving his home on the 700 block of Northeast 151st Avenue Wednesday afternoon.

King's family said he should not be driving due to his medical condition. They were putting fliers around the metro area in hopes someone may recognize him.
