Hiker rescued in Custer State Park Sunday night
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A hiker was rescued Sunday night after he lost his bearings on the French Creek Trail, a Facebook post from Custer County Search and Rescue says. The hiker called 911 and rescue personnel were able to respond quickly, thanks to 2 Custer County Search and Rescue members also hiking at the other end of the trail. Search and Rescue responded to Fisherman's Flats, which was the closest access point to the hiker. They found him at the coordinates given, gave him some water, and drove him back to his vehicle. South Dakota minerals expert weighs in on Ukraine proposal 'Sometimes even with smartphone mapping app's, the directional compass can glitch or be hard to read when there are a lot of switchbacks or even being in a deep gully can block GPS signal,' the post said. While the hiker still had cell service and a mapping app, personnel said he did the right thing calling for help. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

2 arrested following standoff at Black Hills horse barn
CUSTER, SD (KELO) — Authorities have arrested two Rapid City men following a weekend standoff at a horse barn in the southern Black Hills. It started Saturday morning when witnesses reported two men burglarizing storage units south of Custer. Custer County Search and Rescue used a drone to locate the men holed-up in a barn south of Pringle. Law enforcement believed the two were armed with weapons stolen from one of the storage units. Authorities say they tried for hours to talk the men into coming out, but there was no response. Then, the Special Response Team from Rapid City arrived with their armored Bearcat vehicle and the suspects surrendered. Charges are pending against 50-year-old Jonathon Chamley and 47-year-old Gabriel Garcia. Investigators say both men have lengthy criminal records in Pennington and Meade counties.
