<b>SMITHFIELD, N.C.</b> — Police on Wednesday canceled a Silver Alert issued late Sunday for a man visiting his family in Smithfield.

Lawrence Leon Parrish, 74, apparently returned to his home in Virginia and was safe, police said.

He had been with relatives in Smithfield, and they reported him missing when he was late returning to Virginia, police said.
