Police officers continue to contain a scene at Marina Park in an ongoing effort to locate an individual who may be in distress.

No injured person appeared to be in the immediate area.
Officers contained the scene in an effort to conduct a search for a person who might be injured and in need of medical attention. Officers are also investigating the circumstances surrounding the apparent incident.
At this time the public is asked to stay away from the area now contained on the south side of Marina Park. There is no concern for public safety at this time.
