One man still missing after boat capsized in Arkansas River on Sunday

PULASKI COUNTY, Ark. – Pulaski County authorities said a man is still missing after a boat capsized in the Arkansas River on Sunday.

According to a report from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched to the Terry Lock and Dam in response to a capsized boat on the river around 6:46 p.m.

Authorities said they were initially told by the caller that five people were on the boat when it flipped.

When authorities arrived, they found a man in the water near the dam. Officials said the Little Rock Fire Department rappelled down to secure the man until rescue boats could reach them.

After LRFD and PCSO crews were able to transport the man and the capsized boat to shore, the man was taken to a local hospital for medical evaluation.

When they made contact with the man, authorities said he stated he was the only person aboard the boat but, due to a language barrier, they were unable to immediately get any further details.

PCSO deputies said the man later stated that a second person, identified as 35-year-old Rolando Pacheco, was on the boat when it capsized.
