The caller last saw his father around 4:30 p.m. the previous day when he delivered some dinner. Deputies searched the residence and requested assistance from the Green Oak Fire Department to deploy a drone. Shortly after launching the drone, Deputies located the subject in a cornfield across the street. The subject was alert but unable to stand on his own. He was transported to Chelsea Hospital for further medical evaluation.
