Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Police in Alabama discovered that a hunter who was reported missing was actually in a local jail the entire time.

Local fire departments and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency were searching for 51-year-old Randy Keith Holt before Limestone County Sheriff's Office discovered he was being held at a county jail on public intoxication charges, according to WAAY.

Holt was last heard from on Monday afternoon when law enforcement discovered him exposing himself.
