00:12

31 went down that way, but I don't take it located.

00:23

According to a family member, Saluta County picked him up. He was,

00:28

over the traffic server,

00:31

laid out.

00:35

And they brought him back and put him out in Newberry County.

00:39

To enforce sheriff, around what time did they do this? I just came from up there. Search the area, I didn't see him.

00:51

Just a few minutes before the call came in, it's when they brought him back to us.

00:57

And they said to give him a blanket and put him out over there on 391 right at Black's Bridge.

01:03

Yeah,

01:05

where I had to guess, he'd probably walked back over to the flip.

01:09

I don't know, he's probably trying to find his niece of the house, which is in Newbury County.

Okay, well, I'll ride back up there, do another look around for him.

They want to run down in Riverlands and see if he's done got down in there.

He said last night apparently he spent the night over in the traffic circle in the woods.

01:46

And somebody called, he built fire and this morning,

01:51

or just nothing wrong before I called you, they said they brought him over to Newberry County.

01:57

Damn.

02:03

One more thing that Saloon County City wasn't severely drunk, but the person that called me said he was pretty bad off.

02:15

I guess that's,

02:18

he's probably going to be in between that.

02:21

Yeah, Thursday.
