Incident Type: Assist Penobscot SO and Warden Service Date: 3/10/2017 Town: Stacyville Trooper: Caleb Adams, Tim Saucier, Jared Sylvia and Sgt. Haines Brief Synopsis: Maine State Police assisted the Maine Warden Service and the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office in the search of missing 9-year-old boy. The boy had been missing from his school in Staceyville since shortly after noon time. Troopers Caleb Adams and Tim Saucier along with many other Deputies and Wardens patrolled the area hoping the boy would come out onto a road. At approximately 2000 hrs, Trooper Jared Sylvia and K9 Merry were put to work after Warden Scott Martin located small footprints in the woods near the school. Tr. Sylvia & K9 Merry along with Sgt. Joshua Haines were led to Warden Martin’s location in a heavily wooded area where the K9 track was started.

A team consisting of Maine Warden Scott Martin, Baxter State Park Ranger Mike Martin, Sgt. Haines, Tr. Sylvia and K9 Merry tracked through the thick woods, bogs, ice and cold before locating him deep into the woods at approximately 2230 hrs. It’s difficult to tell the exact distance the track went into the woods due to the GPS devices freezing up on the trail with a temperature of 3 degrees and wind chill values well below zero. It’s safe to say the distance was well over a mile. Once the boy was located they brought him out of the woods to a snowmobile trail where he was picked up by a Game Warden and taken to an awaiting ambulance. MORE HERE
