Creek searched for missing man

Authorities searched Pierce Creek late Sunday for a missing fisherman and found his boat capsized, according to the Faulkner County sheriff's office.

Chief Deputy Matt Rice said Wesley Dinwiddie, 65, of Sherwood went fishing Sunday morning. His truck and trailer were found Sunday evening at the Pierce Creek boat landing north of Arkansas 89.

Members of the Faulkner County Rescue Squad and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission were out in boats Sunday night. An Arkansas State Police helicopter aided in the search.

"They found his boat capsized near the Pierce Creek boat landing," Rice said. "They did not find him."

The search was suspended about 10 p.m. because of weather. Rice said the Game and Fish Commission will pick up the search Monday morning.
