RATHDRUM - A Newman Lake, Wash., man who was reported missing has been found at a Spokane medical facility, according to Rathdrum Police.

Philip W. Rook, 32, reportedly has been on an unknown drug that makes him paranoid that someone is following him, according to police. His abandoned car was found left running in Rathdrum on Sunday.

"He is OK and he actually contacted us to find out what happened to his car," Rathdrum police Chief Kevin Fuhr said on Wednesday. "We have no idea how he got to the (medical) facility."

Rook's car was found at the northwest corner of Lancaster Road and Highway 41 still running with the driver's door open, a key in the ignition and a cellphone, prescription medication and identification left behind.
