The Green River seems to be calling Jonathan Deweese’s name. A local fisherman was rescued from a potentially deadly situation on Tuesday morning near the boat ramp at Woodbury.

Workers from the Butler County Road Crew were working on the site of the new upriver boat ramp at Leonard Oak. Workers saw a boat drifting down Green River which appeared to be abandoned. After a closer look the crew realized that there was a fisherman in the water behind the boat clinging to the outboard motor.

Butler County Sheriff Scottie Ward looked on as Butler County Judge Executive David Fields administrated the oath of office to a new deputy.  Ronald Cox, 26, of Morgantown has joined the Butler County Sheriff's Department.  Cox served in law enforcement in Clarksville, Tennesse and has also served two tours in the United States Army. 
Cox will attend the academy in Richmond starting October 17th.
