WEST VIRGINIA....
The man who escaped from a West Virginia mental facility was located in Richmond, Virginia early Friday. Huntington Police say, on October 31st, Harvey Roberts walked away from Mimosa Manor, a mental facility in Huntington, where he had been since 2007. Roberts was at the facility after being declared incompetent to stand trial in a 1994 homicide in Mineral County. The court ruled he was incompetent to stand trial because he suffered from delusions. Roberts spent 12 years in mental hospitals before ending up at Mimosa Manor. Police say he was found at the Charity First Adult Assisted Living Center where he had been for about 30 days.
