Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a man who was
convicted of threatening to kill Madonna and walked away from a Los
Angeles-area mental hospital last week.
Los Angeles police say Robert Dewey Hoskins left the state hospital Friday. He had been committed there last year.
Hoskins, 54, is “highly psychotic” and can be extremely violent and
should not be approached by members of the public, police said in a
news release Thursday. They urged anyone who sees him to call
authorities immediately.
UPDATE: Hoskins was apprehended in Long Beach, CA.
