State Police located a patient on Wednesday evening who’d gone missing from Concord Hospital several hours earlier.
The patient, 46-year-old Keri Pagnozzi, is a New Hampshire Hospital patient who was receiving care at Concord Hospital when she left the facility without permission, authorities said in a press release. New Hampshire Hospital treats patients with mental illness.
State troopers responded to the Pleasant Street area after receiving a report of a possible sighting of Pagnozzi at 8:09 p.m., then took her into custody on pending warrants, according to the press release. The search lasted at least five hours.
Authorities said she was not believed to pose a threat to the public.
The New Hampshire State Police assisted members of the State Office Complex Police Force and the Concord Police Department in the search for Pagnozzi.
