*UPDATE*

Juvenile has been safely located, I would like to thank all of the hard work of the Lumpkin County EMA with their Search and Rescue units, Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office personnel, Lumpkin County Fire Department, Georgia State Patrol, GSP Aviation, and the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office. I would also like to send a Special Thank You to Mike Elliott and Jacob with RMUS Unmanned Solutions, who happened to be here giving a Drone Demonstration to several agencies and jumped right in and provided Drone search support with their Drones and expertise. To everyone involved, Job well done!

Thank you!

Sheriff Stacy M. Jarrard
