June 6 (UPI) -- Authorities are searching for a 17-year-old after his small unmanned boat was found in a lake north of Atlanta.
On Friday, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources confirmed they are looking for Jackson Cole Croft of Woodstock, one day after the empty boat was found circling near the Little River area of Allatoona Lake on Thursday night. The lake is 37 miles north of Atlanta.
At 5:20 p.m., crews from Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services responded after receiving a call about a boat spinning in place without a visible operator. Responders stopped and secured the boat.
DNR game wardens and Cherokee County divers used sonar technology to look for the boater.
