822 Bravo, meet the cars. They're on Wheaton, between the McDonald's and Chick-fil-A, with a male, white, who's waving a machete. PHP advised they've located him. He will be on the Chick-fil-A parking lot, guys, on the Chick-fil-A parking lot there, requesting all the illness to expedite. 822. 822.

And 841 and 825, receiving an update now, THP was not able to locate him on the ramp and the passerby just said that he was between McDonald's and Chick-fil-A, so I guess he's back now at the interstate.
