WILSON STATE PARK -A pair of incidents kept law enforcement authorities busy Saturday at Wilson State Park.

“We had a Jet Ski found floating in the water and nobody around,” said Sergeant Fred Whitman with the Russell County Sheriff’s office.

“At about the same time we were called to locate someone suffering from heat exhaustion. It was a mountain bike rider on the trails near the state park and he wasn’t sure where he was and it was difficult to find him,” said Whitman. He was not from western Kansas.

Fortunately, the Jet Ski was a simple breakdown and the rider surfaced.

After a  search, the mountain bike rider was located and treated for heat exhaustion. He refused a trip to the hospital.

“It could have been a disaster,” said Whitman. “We were very fortunate that nobody was seriously injured.”
