A disabled man missing for more than 18 hours was found in a swampy creek near a local vineyard Wednesday morning. Hank Alvin Dutton, 65, of Georgia Highway 46, was found waist deep in the waters of Lower Lotts Creek behind Meinhardt Vineyards around 9:30 a.m., said Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson. At home less than an hour after his rescue, Dutton was cracking jokes, smoking a cigarette and sipping on Powerade as visitors expressed gratitude that he survived the ordeal.
