A Watsonville man has been reported missing after being released from the Behavioral Health Clinic in Santa Cruz last weekend.

Zinola was released from the health clinic Saturday.

Family members told deputies that Zinola has medical issues that place him at risk if not treated. Zinola has a difficult time communicating verbally.

He may be found on the river levees in Watsonville and Santa Cruz.
