Intoxicated person says he's disoriented and needs help getting out of wooded area off Mill Street

By Howard B. Owens

An intoxicated individual has called dispatchers to report that he's in a wooded area in Batavia but can't find a way out.

His location plots off Mill Street, behind the skate park, near the Tonawanda Creek.  He's north of the train building.

Batavia PD is responding to assist the man.

This is apparently not the first time this individual has gotten lost in the same area.

UPDATE 11:33 p.m.: A Batavia officer is "down by the creek" (or "crick") and requests dispatchers try to re-establish telephone contact with the caller.

UPDATE 11:35 p.m.: Dispatchers re-established contact with the caller and are trying to get him to yell out so the Batavia officer can hear him. They're also going to try and get him to call back on 9-1-1 so they can again plot his location.

UPDATE 11:37 p.m.: He's northeast of the patrol cars. The dispatcher will  try to guide the patrol into the man's location. "He says he's stuck."

UPDATE 11:41 p.m.: The subject has been located.
