Highway 230 in Bold Springs Road. For an elderly man that was seen laying in the ditch, officers had checked on him earlier today whenever he was walking, so we were just told that he's laying in a ditch now. Okay, copy, safe, shows, and route. 10, 4, 6, 7.9. Go for 2306. This is going to be a 67-year-old male. The officers were out with him around 4 a.m. He's from (name withheld). I don't know how long he's been walking, but he's just been walking, trying to get out of town, I guess. But he had a pretty significant sunburn, and he had some dried blood on him earlier. But the officers said that he was fine at the time. Okay, is there anybody there with him now, the caller or anything? Not that I'm aware of, it was a third-party call, I'll try and find out. Okay, if you don't get an answer from Green Kalamine, send a strawberry, if you could have Lawrence County sent strawberry they're not too far away. 10-4, we do have an officer coming in as well. Okay, thank you.
