Police found a Delaware man who had gone missing a few days after he was arrested for allegedly harassing University of Delaware students.

David Tymitz, 27, of Newark, Delaware, was reported missing Saturday. Investigators say he had been last seen in Newark, Delaware around 3:45 a.m. Saturday driving a brown Nissan Quest minivan with damage to the right sliding door.

Prior to his disappearance, Tymitz had been arrested for allegedly harassing three female students at the University of Delaware's Newark campus.

Investigators say Tymitz, whose scalp and eyebrows were dyed green, was wearing gloves and waved at the women several times in front of Evans Hall around 9:50 p.m. back on Oct. 1. Tymitz then allegedly appeared to make a cutting gesture across his throat and began chasing after them. One of the students called 911 and the three locked themselves inside a residence hall bathroom.

Tymitz, who is not a student at the school, was arrested and charged with harassment, menacing and trespassing. He was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Facility on $2500 secured bond and ordered by the court to have no contact with the the three students or anyone else at the University of Delaware. He was also prohibited from being on campus.

On Saturday, Tymitz's family reported to police he had gone missing after making statements that caused concern for himself and others. On Sunday, University of Delaware Police announced he was found. They did not reveal further details however.
