A 78-year-old Medina County man with dementia found himself in a precarious position Thursday evening: stuck in a swamp.
For a few hours, all his family knew was that senior citizen went missing after he went outside.
Deputies activated CART, which consists of local police officers, firefighters and emergency management officials, according to Medina County Captain Kris Conwill. Berger said it was was clear that some of the equipment typically used for searches would not be useful in this case. Berger, along with other firefighters and deputies, worked together to get the man unstuck and assisted him back to his home. Body camera video shows the man with arms around his rescuers.
In 2021, News 5 covered another incident in Medina County where CART used drones and cell phone pings to track down a 31-year-old man who failed to return to a group home."A CART team brings a lot of different resources. In addition to manpower, they have UTVs. They have drones. All of those resources were being deployed last night," Conwill said.
