ELLSWORTH, Maine — Police say a 28-year-old Ellsworth man is no longer considered missing after he made contact with his mother Wednesday.
Jonathan Spinney had been staying at the Barbara Hance House on Surry Road, but had been unheard from since Christmas Eve, said Detective Dotty Small of the Ellsworth Police Department. Small on Wednesday called Spinney’s mother, who said she heard from her son that morning.
“She no longer considers him missing, so he’s not,” Small said. Small said Spinney had called from somewhere in Bangor.
Police Chief John DeLeo had said Friday that Spinney had a history of drug abuse, which was a cause for concern to police and his family.
Small thanked the people who called in with tips and spread word of the missing man on Facebook.

Young man, check in with your mother more often – no matter what!
What a relief, Junior is alive and well.
After all this time and fuss and media attention he
decides to call Mom.
He sure did a good job of staying below the radar the whole time.
I imagine his Mom is mighty thankful, and can now get some sleep., The up side is, he is ok..
If it were my child, no matter how old, and he/she was missing and on a drug bender or whatever, I’d try to get as much help as possible too. I hope he can turn it around. Glad he’s been heard from.
Thankful they found him. Hopeful he straightens his life out. Pray.
