— from Sheriff Ron Krebs —
UPDATE: 12:30 p.m.
Subject has been found safe. He is suffering from mild lacerations to his feet and mild hypothermia. He was transported to the Peace Island Medical Center where he will be treated and evaluated. I would like to thank the men and women of both the Sheriff’s Office and the San Juan Fire Department for all of their efforts in locating him.

At approximately 03:45 a.m. a 20 year old Friday Harbor male made threats of suicide to his mother. He then ran out of the residence and was last seen on Roche Harbor Road and Terrace Drive. Four deputies were called out to attempt to locate him without success.
This morning the search continues and is being assisted by the US Coast Guard with their air unit. At this time the 20 year old male is still at large as our search continues. If anyone sees him or knows of his whereabouts please call 911.
