DAVIS COUNTY, Utah, April 21, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — The Davis County Sheriff’s Office said on social media Sunday afternoon that a 25-year-old man, reported as an overdue hiker, has been found and is safe.
At 4:21 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office posted that “Tobias (Braaten) has been found safe. He has a few scratches and was very hungry and happy to accept a sandwich and a phone to call family, but otherwise in good spirits. Tobias took a wrong turn and found himself three canyons away from the Fernwood Trailhead. We appreciate all the help!”
The Sheriff’s Office had received offers from volunteers to help in the search, but said there was no need for additional volunteers from the community, as search and rescue teams from other areas were already assisting. The offers of help were appreciated, the post said.
