LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Sheriff’s deputies say they have found a North Carolina soldier missing since Feb. 10.
Hot Spring County sheriff’s deputies say they took 22-year-old Spc. Joseph E. Putnam into custody late Wednesday night at a mobile home park near the county line. Investigator Robert Terry told The Associated Press that Putnam was involuntarily committed and taken to a Malvern hospital for treatment.
Terry says Putnam, who has family in Bismarck, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving a tour in Iraq. He apparently left Fort Bragg and took a bus to Arkansas, where surveillance camera footage at an ATM showed him withdrawing money.
Putnam is a member of the 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division.
