A US Coast Guard search team joined law enforcement agencies that were combing the waters near Vallejo Sunday for a man who failed to return home from work.

The search began before noon Sunday morning after the son of 77-year old Philip "Steven" Mattingly called the Vallejo Police Dept to report that his father was missing.

Mattingly had been called to service a tug boat attached to a mighty midget ship the night before.

Vallejo police immediately called the Solano County dive rescue team after Mattingly's son told them his father was last seen on Mare Island.

“It's yet to be determined if anybody has fallen into the water but in an abundance of caution, we are trying to utilize all the resources we have here in Solano County,” said Sgt. Todd Tribble of the Vallejo Police Dept.   

The US Coast Guard suspended their search a few hours after it began just before noon Sunday morning. The coast guard, along with the Vallejo police and fire departments and the Solano County Sheriff's Office, said they planned to start a new search Monday morning.

Mattingly was described as being 6-foot-1, weighing about 210 pounds with hazel eyes and has surgery scars on his left forearm, right leg and chest.

Police said that due to Mattingly’s health issues, he needs medication.
