Wounded Man Sought by Rio Dell Police Found as He Lay Near Death
Rio Dell Police Chief Jeff Conner spoke to us about last night’s search by his officers for a wounded man throughout his town.
“We found the young man a little bit after midnight,” Conner said. “[There was] significant blood loss. He went to the hospital…Probably wouldn’t have survived if he hadn’t been found.”
Conner said that although the first reports indicated the man had been stabbed, it was later determined that he had received a laceration from glass.
“He cut himself on a window,” the police chief explained. “Not sure what he was trying to do.”
Connor explained that around 10:30 last night there was a disturbance. His officer detained one man and began searching for what was at first believed to be a stabbing victim.
The wounded man was eventually located in Fireman’s Park. “I believe he was still conscious just barely,” the chief explained. “One of the firemen heard him moaning.” The wounded man was then rushed to a local hospital Code 3.
The man who had been detained earlier “was eventually arrested for drunk in public and vandalism,” Conner explained. And, he said, there will probably eventually be charges for the wounded man.
Conner said that at this time he did not know the health status of the wounded man.

Not sure what he was doing but i hope he’s going to be ok i been cut by glass and it is no joke i about died from blood loss also thank God for helicopters
Perhaps a little B & E for you & me??? But yes thank the Gods for First Responders to save him!!!
Sounds like him and his buddy were drunk and thought it would be a good idea to break into somewhere and the glass won!!
From the info available it sounds like he almost made himself eligible for a Darwin award.
Close but NO Award, luckily for him!!!
Yeah, and it appears the team was up to no good and may have reaped what they were sowing.
Hope he gets okay and learns from this! Sometimes stupid young people do learn and change their behavior (many of my friends and I). Maybe he becomes somebody we can all be proud of…that would be cool.
Oh great now that one song is stuck, stuck in my head!
