KALKASKA COUNTY, MI - Two lost snowmobilers called 911 for help, but when conservation officers tracked them down, one of them sped off - only to be arrested for drunken snowmobiling.

The snowmobilers called Kalkaska County Central Dispatch by cell phone, but were unable to describe their location.

State Department of Natural Resources conservation officers Mike Hearn and Sam Schluckbier started a search. They finally found the snowmobilers riding on M-72 and tried to contact them.

One of them left the road and fled, the DNR said.

He was found hiding behind his snowmobile, its lights off, inside a wood line at the top of a hill.

He was described as "highly intoxicated," with a blood-alcohol level three times above the limit for operating a motor vehicle, the DNR said.

He was arrested and taken to Kalkaska County Jail.
