Deputies Searching for Missing, Endangered Man

PALMETTO, FL — The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office is asking folks to keep a watch out for a man deputies describe as missing and endangered.

According to the agency, Brandon German, 29, and his mother got into an argument Tuesday evening at their home in the 4000 block of 3rd Avenue Boulevard East in Palmetto. German’s mother called 911 during the dispute and he reportedly left the home before law enforcement arrived.

Deputies who responded to the home, spoke with German's mother about the domestic distrubance and then left, an email from the agency said. A short time later, German’s mother called back saying her son had returned. German, however, had hurt himself prior to returning home, the agency’s email said.

Deputies returned to the home, but German had left again on foot, the agency said. Deputies are now concerned for his well-being and are looking for help finding him.

Anyone who knows German’s whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 941-747-3011.
