Jet Skier Found Off Bush River Is 'OK': Natural Resources Police

HARFORD COUNTY, MD – A jet skier who was last seen Sunday was located with the assistance of a helicopter on Monday, according to Maryland Natural Resources Police.

At 5:30 a.m. on Monday, a woman called the Harford County Sheriff's Office to report that her husband had left Sunday morning to go jet skiing and had not returned, Maryland Natural Resources Police spokeswoman Candy Thomson told Patch.

The 50-year-old Randallstown man had left from the Flying Point Park boat ramp on a red and black Sea-Doo jet ski, Thomson said.

A Maryland State Police helicopter found the man, who was "OK," officials reported. He was found on Bush Point at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Monday.

Before that, officials tried to locate the missing man using his cell phone but it pinged in the area of the boat ramp, where his van and trailer were found in the parking lot Monday morning, Thomson said.

Natural Resources Police had deployed three boats on the Bush River, while the U.S. Coast Guard searched the Gunpowder River, Thomson told Patch.

The region was under a severe thunderstorm watch Sunday afternoon for strong winds, and there were four reports of downed trees in Harford County between 4:30 and 5 p.m., the National Weather Service reported.
