LISBON — A Hanoverton man who failed to return home Nov. 5 remained listed as an endangered missing adult Monday afternoon, but Capt. Ryan Pike of the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office said his phone was found in an area near Highlandtown Lake.

The Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Department searched the area with a drone.

“So far they haven’t found anything,” Pike said.

Michael F. Arnoto, 47, Campbell Road, Hanoverton, was reported missing by a relative at 8:36 p.m. Friday and was entered into the law enforcement statewide data base and also as a missing endangered due to health issues.

According to Pike, all access points to Highlandtown Lake were checked along with the area where the phone was located, but Arnoto was not found as of Monday after 5 p.m.

There was also no sign of his car, a blue 2016 Hyundai Accent with plate number JLU4542.

According to the endangered missing adult alert posted by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, Arnoto was described as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 150 pounds, with brown hair and grey eyes. What he was last seen wearing was unknown.

The poster said he’s insulin dependent and suffers from memory issues. He reportedly left his home at 8 a.m. Nov. 5 and did not return, with law enforcement concerned for his safety.
