After two days of searching, he was found safe, the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Tuesday morning.

Deputies were assisted by Elite Drone Services and members of the St. Henry Fire Department.

Together, they made their way into a cornfield, around 200 yards east of the woods behind 1821 State Route 118.

There, they found Stachler awake and conscious, according to a media release.

The statewide endangered missing adult alert for him has since been cancelled.

We’re working to get more details about when and where Stachler was found.
