Sheriff: Missing Father Of Fmr. Vikings CB Mackensie Alexander Found Safe In Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The missing father of Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander turned up early Thursday at a ranger station at a Florida state park, sheriff’s officials said.

Jean Alexandre, 65, was reported to be in good health and will be reunited with this family, the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office said in a Twitter post Thursday morning. He walked up to the ranger station at the Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, which is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Okeechobee in central Florida.

The sheriff’s office offered no additional details.

“We are all relieved and grateful that he was found, and that he was found well,” Brian Pakett, an attorney representing Mackensie Alexander, told The Associated Press on Thursday morning.
