Orange County deputies ask for help locating 75-year-old man

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office was asking for the public’s help Monday in locating 75-year-old man who was last seen Sunday afternoon.
Alfred “Sugarfoot” Pearson was last seen at about 4 p.m. when he walked away from his residence on Dewberry Avenue, near the intersection of Hermit Smith Road and State Highway 441 in North Apopka, deputies said.
Pearson suffers from dementia, which could have caused him to become lost and disoriented, and unable to find his way home, investigators said. He was also released from the hospital two days ago and has an irregular heartbeat, deputies said.
He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes.
Anyone with information on his location is asked to contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 407-836-4357.
