Thirty-seven of the state law makers with a butter sculpture.
Charges are pending.
In local news, the recent downpours have
caused some dangerous flooding.
We go to Chip Douglass in the field.
Thanks, Ted.
With all the rain this weekend,
most folks feel as though they've been trapped indoors,
but for one local resident
it's a different story.
Steve Tuttle is a regular guy,
an account manager at a local bank,
but this afternoon he fell into this canal,
and reports indicate that Steve is not a good swimmer.
Steve: Hey! Hey!
With floodwaters expected to rise over the next several hours,
the fate of Mr. Tuttle is anything but certain.
We'll keep an eye on the situation, and let you know as it develops.
Back to you, Ted.
A heartbreaking report, Chip.
Does Mr. Tuttle have any family to speak of?
That's a good question.
I'll see if I can find out.
Hey! Do you have any family?
Steve: Thank God you're back! I can't swim.
Do you have a family?
Steve: Please help me!
A family? Do you have a family, sir?
Steve: Yes! I've got a wife and two daughters.
Steve: Please, just-- Where are you going?
Sadly, if help is not on its way soon,
Mr. Tuttle's death will leave behind a loving wife and two beautiful daughters.
What hope does Steve have at this point?
Sadly, little to none.
It would take a passerby coming along with a rope. Steve: Rope?!
A rope like this one. Steve: Hello?!
Or a lifejacket.
This one would do nicely. Steve: Come on! Are you kidding me?
But this area is so remote, I just don't see it happening.
Tragic. Do we know if emergency services have been contacted?
Well, I certainly hope someone's called.
I can tell you that any emergency crew trying to reach us may have difficulty,
as the only access road is currently blocked by what appears to be a Channel 8 news van.
Steve: What's wrong with you people?!
How much longer do you think Steve has?
Well, I hate to venture a guess,
but once hypothermia sets in--
Hey, is that guy dead?
Yep!
This is Chip Douglass with breaking news!
