MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — A 69-year-old man who borrowed his employer's truck and went missing shortly after on Aug. 20 was found safe, officials said.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said on Aug. 20, William Golden used the truck to make a delivery from Sarasota to 1112 Manatee Avenue East in Bradenton.
His employer contacted MCSO to report him missing on Aug. 29.
Detectives learned later that the truck was found on Aug. 21, abandoned on I-75 in Manatee County.
Officials attempted to contact Golden by phone but haven't received an answer.
Finally, on Sept. 4, MCSO said that Golden was found safe. There are no other details about his disappearance at this time.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
