An Indiana State Police trooper was able to reunite a teenager with his parents Sunday during a boating trip at Lieber State Park.
According to Sgt. Matt Ames, public information officer for ISP Putnamville District, a teenager was riding on a sailboat with his father on the lake when he became stricken with motion sickness.
"The father dropped him off in an area and planned to come back and pick him up on foot. However, the son started to move and became missing for three hours," Ames told The Putnam County Post.
ISP Trooper Kevin Fowler, along with DNR officials began searching for the missing individual, and Fowler was able to locate the individual near the lake and called for a boat from Conservation officers to be picked up due to brush in the area, Ames said.
"Once picked up, the son was reunited with his mother and father. No medical check out was required," Ames said.
