WASHINGTON — Police in Fairfax County are working with Virginia State Police to find a man who they say fled a mental health facility on Monday.
Thirty-three-year-old Michael Marshall escaped the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute, located at 3302 Gallows Road, and was noticed missing around 6 p.m., police say. He has been known to exhibit violent behavior, according to police.
Marshall is described as standing 5-feet-8-inches tall, weighing 235 pounds, with black hair and glasses. No clothing description was available.
