sleeping on a log!!
a Sheriff’s Deputy and an Officer from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources were using individual kayaks owned by the SCDNR Officer to search a portion of the Tyger River about 2 miles upstream from where little Jason Burton had been reported missing on Friday afternoon. As the two officers were searching the banks of the river they found Jason sleeping on a log underneath the embankment. A helicopter from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office flew to the scene and landed on a sandbar in the river to pick up Jason and fly him back to the Command Post that had been setup across the street from his home. Once back at the Command Post Jason was reunited with his parents and other relatives. The little boy was taken to an ambulance that had been standing by since early yesterday afternoon so he could be examined by Paramedics until the helicopter from Spartanburg Regional Medical Center could arrive and take him to be examined by doctors.
