CHEHALIS, Wash. (AP) -- A mushroom picker listed as missing in Lewis County has been found about 75 miles away -- in the King County Jail in Seattle.

Lewis County sheriff's deputies discovered late Monday that 54-year-old Moeu Ros of Lakewood had been arrested September 1 by the State Patrol. He was wanted on a warrant.

His girlfriend says Ros left home that day saying he was going to pick mushrooms in Lewis County. She says she checked the area around Forest Service Road 84 in the Ashford and Packwood area periodically.

After failing to find him, she reported him missing to authorities on Monday.
