A Coast Guardsman who disappeared more than three months ago and showed up at his
home over the weekend is in military custody at Pearl Harbor after being released
from the hospital. According to the Associated Press, Coast Guard spokesman Lt.
Gene Maestas said Wednesday that Tripler Army Medical Center medically cleared and
released Petty Officer 1st Class Russell Matthews on Tuesday night. Maestas says
Matthews was in the process of being discharged from the Coast Guard for illegally
using marijuana when his wife reported him missing in October.
