ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (AP) -- Authorities were searching on Thursday for an escaped mental health patient.
Armando Gonzalez, 34, escaped from an Alexandria behavior health hospital Wednesday.
The escape appeared to have been pre-planned, authorities said. Gonzalez jumped a facility fence and hid in the brush. He was seen getting into a dark green car driven by a woman.
Police said Gonzalez had been placed at the hospital for a variety of mental health reasons. He's believed to be headed to the Willmar or Sacred Heart area, then possibly on to Texas.
Armando is described as 5-foot-8, and between 130 and 140 pounds.
