Drones helped find a missing 90-year-old Atoka man in Wagoner County Sunday morning.
Wagoner County Emergency Management was called in by the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management to assist.
Horses and the National Guard also combed the area.
The first responders were quickly divided into ground and drone search teams.
Not long after deployment, the drone team successfully located the missing man and his dog Daisy, alive, with the man wrapped in his coat for warmth.
He had been missing for over 12 hours in last night’s freezing temperatures.
