“We’re concerned for (his) safety,” Saluda County Sheriff John Perry said in the release. “He hasn’t been seen or heard from since leaving work.”

Information on where Morris might have gone, or if he was alone, was not available. The sheriff’s office said Morris’ family is concerned for his safety.

The sheriff’s office described Morris as a 6-foot tall, 175-pound man with brown eyes and brown hair.

He might be driving his white 2012 Honda CRV, with the South Carolina license plate number QIE397, according to the release.
