Great teamwork led to a safe outcome on Tawas Lake.

A Michigan Conservation Officer and Troopers from the West Branch Post searched for an 83-year-old fisherman who had not returned from a fishing trip. After hours of searching in the dark and navigating tall wild rice, the team located him safely on the north side of the lake. He was uninjured and brought safely back to shore.

Robare was conducting fishing patrol in the area and happened to be driving between bodies of water when the call of an active shooter went out.
