The Costa Mesa Police Department reported tonight on Facebook that they have received information that Cary Smith is currently located at a healthcare facility in Costa Mesa.

The CMPD will continue to monitor the situation and collaborate with their law enforcement partners.

The OCDA recently released a warning about Smith, who spent 20 years in forced hospitalization at a state mental hospital.

Smith, who is 59-years-old, was sent to Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino in 1999 on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after his wife provided a psychiatrist with a letter in which Smith described sex acts he wanted to perform on a 7-year-old boy who lived in his Costa Mesa neighborhood.
