Police ID Man with Memory Problem

Portville Police have learned the identity of a man who couldn't remember his name or where he was from.

Police haven't released the man's name, but did say he is from Johnsonburg.

Police say they spoke with family members who identified him and will pick him up in Olean.

WIVB-TV is reporting that the family member saw the man's picture at WIVB.com, and then contacted police.

I think it actually brought out some good in people, a bit of the old "giving spirit" if you will.
