A 41-year-old man who had been missing from Sylacauga since mid-December has been found safe, authorities said Thursday.

A missing and endangered person alert had been issued for Joshua Bryan Phillips, 41, on Wednesday.

On Thursday, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, which issued the alert, cancelled the warning. ALEA said Phillips, who disappeared Dec. 15, may have a condition that impairs his judgment.

Sylacauga police said Phillips had been located.
