A Cumberland County deputy was instrumental Saturday in locating a missing out-of-state man.

The officer responded to an erratic driver on Highway 70 North.

The suspected driver, 82-year-old Norman Litchfield nearly hit the deputy head-on.

After he pulled Litchfield over, a check revealed he was declared missing and endangered out of Georgetown, Kentucky.

The deputy called his wife who informed him Litchfield was lost and shouldn’t have been in Tennessee.

Litchfield was taken to Cumberland Medical Center for evaluation until his wife could make arrangements to pick him up.
