Officers learned that 56-year-old Brian Meyers left a hospital room then left the hospital and got into a vehicle.

Meyers was previously in custody after he was found in possession of a firearm following a car crash, authorities said.

Meyers is prohibited from possessing a firearm because of a previous conviction.

Another warrant is being issued for Meyers’ arrest.
