A man was pulled from the East Fork White River Monday as authorities investigated a report of a body in the river.
Off duty Martin County Officer Keith Keller received a personal call from a Jasper firefighter late Monday morning who said there was a suspicious vehicle parked on the north side of 231 in Martin County and said he saw a human head in the water.
Upon investigation from Keller and officers from the DNR, the Haysville Fire Department and Dubois County Officers, a man was located stuck in a log jam five miles downstream from the 231 bridge. The unidentified man admitted later to jumping from the bridge in an attempt to harm himself. He was taken to the Memorial Hospital in Jasper.
