On Saturday April 18, 2015 at approximately 5:51pm Johnson County Deputy Brent Scott got out with some subjects in a closed area of the park at Tickhill.  When he pulled up he noticed a female run and get in a vehicle. While talking to the others he got the name of the female and went over to the vehicle where the lady gave him a fake name.  While checking the subjects thru dispatch the female took off running toward the river and jumped in. She swam to one island before swimming to a second island. Deputy Scott called for assistance with a boat and tracking dog. The female, Savannah Veale, was found approximately an hour and a half later hiding in thick brush by Loki, K-9.
