The Stone County Sheriff's Office report the rescue of a juvenile that had runaway and fallen down a bluff near Silver Dollar City.

According to a post on the department's Facebook Page, the incident happened on Friday evening when the 15-year-old boy ran away from his foster parents' vehicle. Officers deployed a drone to help in the search as well as K9 Officer Iya, who eventually located the boy after he had fallen off the bluff about a 1/4 of a mile from where he ran away.
