Mackensie Alexander's father found alive

As we reported yesterday, former Clemson defensive back Mackensie Alexander was arrested for striking the man who was last with missing father. Today, Jean Odney Alexandre was found safe after walking up to a ranger station in Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.

According to ESPN:

“Jean Odney Alexandre, 65, was found Thursday morning after he walked up to a ranger station in Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, according to the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office.”

The report from ESPN continued:

“Alexandre (the two men have different spellings for their last names) was reported missing on Monday in Okeechobee, according to police records. Alexandre was picking palmetto berries with a friend he'd known for more than 10 years when he disappeared in the woods around 2 p.m. Monday, according to the incident report. Authorities were not able to ping Alexandre's exact location because he did not have a cellphone at the time.”

The younger Alexander, currently with the Cincinnati Bengals traveled with a friend, Evins Clement, to the Florida home of the man who reportedly was the last person with Alexander's father before he went missing. 

According to reports, the duo tried "to convince" the man to leave with them. Alexander then punched the man several times according to the Collier County Sherriff's Office. Alexander was booked on battery charges.
