PLATTE COUNTY, Neb. -- A man was reported missing in Platte County.

The Platte County Sheriff's Office said they are searching for 37-year-old Jake Antonio Clark.

Officers said they performed a traffic stop on Clark's vehicle, a 1999 green Buick Century, around 9:10 p.m. on Dec. 17, 2023, for not having plates or valid in-transits. Clark was allowed to leave after the traffic stop.
