UPDATE:
Jackson Sheriff Lou Roberts reports that Hayes Louis Dickens was found Monday night in a remote part of Calhoun County, approximately 4 miles southeast of Altha.
Earlier in the evening, a caller reported a suspicious vehicle matching the description of Dickens’, that had apparently gotten stuck near a creek bank.
A helicopter unit searching around the vehicle’s location spotted Dickens shortly before dark. He had abandoned his vehicle and was traveling on foot close to a nearby wooded area.
Roberts said Dickens was okay, but appeared lethargic, very dehydrated and had suffered numerous bug bites. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
