ALLEGHANY COUNTY, VA (VR) – The Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), Office of Public Safety & Law Enforcement (OPSLE), was contacted by the Alleghany County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) regarding a 32 year old subject from Clifton Forge, Virginia, who had failed to return to work and had reportedly been experiencing mental health concerns.
ACSO advised that the vehicle the subject had been driving was located within Douthat State Park.
