Authorities looking last week for a missing Roseville man got some good news over the weekend: He called for help and was returned in good health to the group home where he lives.

Before he called Saturday afternoon, Carl Clark,50, had not been seen since Thursday afternoon leaving Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Roseville police said.

Clark, who is a double amputee with prosthetic legs, lives in a group home on Lexington Avenue in Roseville. His guardian went to HCMC, found them and took him back to Roseville.

A Roseville police officer who interview Clark later found him in good health and in no need of medical attention, authorities said.

Police had been concerned for Clark because of his health issues and because he has limited resources, including no friends or relatives in the metro area.

Asked where he had been, Clark told police he had spent the night "under a bridge," Roseville police said, and did not give any more details.
