On the record
Law enforcement report
¢ Two teenage boys, missing on the Wakarusa River for about an hour Monday afternoon, walked their way to safety.
The 19-year-old Lawrence residents had departed from the spillway on the east side of Clinton Lake and planned to float on inner tubes to Haskell Avenue, sheriff’s Detective Pat Pollock said.
A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ranger saw the teens in the water and called for emergency crews shortly after 3:30 p.m. Crews were prepared for a water rescue and stood watch at several bridges.
The teens exited the river safely about 4:30 p.m. at the bridge at Brown’s Grove Road.
