Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the help of the public in locating a man reported missing and was last seen in the area of Camp Creek Wash in Tonto National Forest north of the Verde Communities.

Jesus Rodriguez is a 34-year-old Hispanic man about 5-feet, 6-inches in height, 180 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair.

Rodriguez was last seen Sunday, Dec. 20 on Forest Road 388 near Camp Creek. He was wearing a teal T-shirt with the text “Fine$$e University,” gray jeans and white and black Nike shoes.
