(01/21/2017)
UPDATE 9:11 PM 1/18/2017 - Calhoun searchers located a missing 6-year-old boy who went missing in the Bear Fork Wilderness Wednesday evening, saying the boy did not appear to the injured.

He had wandered away from his home a few hours earlier.

He was discovered in the Crummies Creek/Bear Fork backwoods about five miles from his house, and was brought out of the area on a UTV after being discovered by the Arnoldsburg VFD.

"We almost drove by him, apparently asleep in some leaves," said Arnoldsburg fireman Joe Tanner, saying he got lost when wandering off an ATV trail.

"He seemed in good shape, a little cold with the temperature about 40 degrees," said Tanner.

He was reunited with his parents by State Police trooper Jeff Hunt, returning him to his residence.
