Campground
walk-away scares family

A Hillsboro man who walked away from a campsite at Marion Reservoir at 1 a.m. Saturday caused family to fear for his safety, but all turned out OK in the end when Assistant Police Chief Randy Brazil found him at his Hillsboro home.

Brazil said a family argument had taken place at the reservoir, and the man had headed home.

The distance between the reservoir and Hillsboro is roughly five miles, Brazil said.

The man didn’t walk the entire distance. He caught a ride part of the way.

Brazil said the only thing that took place at the lake was an argument.
