5:10 p.m. - A Lorena Road resident told police that her husband went golfing on Thursday morning, but he never came home.

The woman said that she called the golf course - Unicorn Golf Course in Stoneham - and they said he left at around 2 p.m. and seemed fine.
The woman filled out a missing person's report, and a few hours later, at 11 p.m., Malden Police reported they found the man - who suffers from early-stage Alzheimers.

According to police, the man was fine, just a little confused.

8:30 p.m. - Winchester Police were called to Main Street because of an erratic driver. The Woburn man told police that he left Stop & Shop and as he began to drive, felt light-headed. The man said he was on medication, which were recently adjusted.

Police told him to speak with his doctor. They drove him to his home and towed his vehicle since it was illegally parked and he could not find a licensed driver to drive it home.
