Missouri state troopers say an eastern Missouri man almost drowned at the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend, due to intoxication.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s incident report says 48-year-old Todd Faulkner of Arnold was found by a bystander face down in the water, “due to their inability to stay above water due to intoxication.” Mr. Faulkner was not wearing a life vest, according to the report. Arnold is a town in Jefferson County, south of St. Louis.
Missouri state troopers, Rocky Mount firefighters and Mid-Mo ambulance crews responded, and Faulkner was taken to Lake Regional Hospital for treatment. He sustained moderate injuries.
Saturday afternoon’s incident happened at about 5 at the five-mile marker, in the Osage arm.
