CATSKILL–A man who went missing in Catskill Monday was found in the Village Tuesday morning, according to Catskill Police.

Police Chief David Darling said William Pennington, 50, of Cairo, was discovered by two Catskill firefighters between Main and Thompson streets at around 7:15 a.m.

“He looked to be in good health,” Darling said.

Darling said the mentally distraught Pennington was transported to Columbia Memorial Hospital.

Pennington was reported missing at 2 p.m. Monday from a relative’s home near where he was later found.

Catskill Police, State Police, the Catskill Fire Department and the Greene County Sheriff’s Department searched wooded areas in Catskill for the man Monday evening. Catskill police and some firefighters continued their effort overnight, Darling said.

Darling said Pennington told officers Tuesday morning that he had spent the night walking and sleeping.
