A mentally disabled man who had been missing from his Ventura home for more than 40 hours was found Wednesday behind City Hall after he spent two nights in the hills nearby without food and
medication. Anthony (Tony) Skinner, 30, who lives several blocks from City Hall in an apartment building on South Palm Street managed by the Assn. for Retarded Citizens, was found early
Wednesday by a city employee. Skinner, who police said has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old, was reported missing at 4:30 p.m. Monday. Skinner went to City Hall with a friend Monday to
buy a bus pass, said John Stack, program manager for Training for Independent Living, a program that assists residents of the apartment building. Skinner, who became separated from his
friend, went without needed medication while he was missing, officials said. At 7 a.m. Wednesday, he approached a city employee, told him who he was and asked to purchase a bus pass, Stack
said. The employee recognized him from a police description and notified authorities. Stack said Skinner has wandered off many times before, but this was the first time that he did not call
home. MORE TO READ
