RICHARD CRUZ, 59.JPGGLENDORA -- Police asked the public's help Saturday in finding a developmentally disabled man who wandered off from his residential care facility.
Richard Cruz, 59, walked away from the El Dorado Oaks Residential Care Facility, 1771 S. Grand Avenue, about 4 p.m. Wednesday, Glendora police said in a written statement.
In addition to being developmentally disabled, Cruz suffers from high blood pressure, officials said.
"The Glendora Police Department is concerned that he is lost and may experience a medical emergency without proper treatment," the statement said.
Family members told police that once in the past, Cruz disappeared and rode a bus to Downtown Los Angeles, where he was found a month later.
He is described as a Latino man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He has short sandy blond hair and brown eyes.
Cruz was last seen wearing a black polo shirt and black pants, officials said. He often wears suspenders.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Glendora Police Department.
