the men after SEADOGS and Wrangell SAR covered nearby islands and

search at 4 p.m. Thursday, but supported SEADOGS, Sitka SAR, AST,

girlfriend on a Lemon Creek area trail Monday night, he was also in the
dark about an obligation he had to report for jury duty selection. She
used her cell phone to call and report they weren't sure how to get
back and were lost in the dark. A neighbor in the area familiar with
the trail system went up the trail and found them while Troopers and
SEADOGS were responding. Trooper dispatch notified Sergeant Cox that
he had a warrant for his arrest. Cox says the man was surprised and
said he wasn't aware of the warrant. He says it was an interesting case
where they make an attempt to help someone, but end up having to arrest
them.”
