“He is a very fortunate individual,” Operations Commander Roger Yensen of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Mountain Rescue Posse said Thursday of 62-year-old John Waddell. “As I pulled out my truck I could hear him hollering, ‘Help, help!”‘ Schrader told FOX10 Phoenix . Fifteen members of the posse overseen by the office’s Search and Rescue Team rushed with specialized equipment to the property. Sheriff Paul Penzone said he had no doubt that the posse, working with his office’s Search and Rescue Team, saved Waddell’s life. “Our men and women train year-round for this type of event,” he said, “and we are all grateful for this positive outcome.”
