Typically, you only hear about things when they go wrong, not today. This afternoon an onlooker saw a disoriented man enter the woods near Price Blvd and Toledo Blade Blvd. Numerous officers and K9s with NPPD and the Venice Police Department searched the area. We also utilized our drone from above. We were able to locate the man and carry him to safety. Turns out, the subject took a shortcut home from the store and became disoriented in the woods. He was severely dehydrated but was able to call out for help. The man was transported by NPFR and should be okay. Solid work by everyone involved. Carry on!
