Ohio Page 1:1 Mud rescue proves sticky job in Fairfield By SHIRLEY FREDERICK Journal-News Writer FAIRFIELD-Patrolman Dave Rhodus is definitely a "stick-in-the-mud." At least he was Sunday. Shortly before noon, the Fairfield Police Department received a call that a boy was stuck in the mud at the landfill on Ivy Lane just off Bobmeyer Road.

When police arrived they found 13-year-old Bobby Metealf in mud up to his knees just behind the home of Wendell Taylor, 2677 Ivy Lane. Tom Wqoten said he was visiting his grandmother He and a friend, Dale Hazelwpod, who lives on Ivy Lane, were walking around the landfill area when they spotted Bobby and his 14- year-old brother Terry. Tom said he knew the boys from school. Tom said Terry was first to walk through the creek and got stuck in mud up to his waist. Tom, Dale and Bobby tried to hejp Terry out but while they were pulling on Terry, Bobby got stuck.

Finally when they got Terry free, they tried to pull Bobby out. But Bobby complained that his back was hurting. "That's when I went up and called the police," said Tom.
