Missing Endangered Adult – Dylan J. Thornton

The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office is requesting assistance from our media partners and the community in locating a MISSING ENDANGERED ADULT.

Dylan J. Thornton was last seen on 09-13-15 in the late evening hours, after leaving a party in the Spring Ridge subdivision.

Friends who were with Thornton when he left the party advised deputies that Thornton was possibly using illegal narcotics and may have been suffering from an “altered state” when he was last seen.

Thornton may have been in crisis and reportedly removed all of his clothing before running into a wooded area near Spring Ridge.

Thornton’s physical description is as follows:
White Male
Date of Birth – 09-09-1997
5’4”
140 lbs.
Brown Hair
Hazel Eyes

We ask all residents in the area west of Sunshine Grove Road, please check properties, sheds, barns, etc., incase Thornton took refuge in one of these areas. Please do not approach Thornton, call 9-1-1 immediately.

If you have seen Dylan Thornton or know his current whereabouts please call the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office at 352-754-6830 or your local law enforcement agency. Again, due to Thornton’s possible “altered state”, please do not approach; call 9-1-1. Thank you.
