(KAIR)--A man is found injured near Pottawatomie County's Rocky Ford Fishing area, and the Sheriff's Office has launched an investigation into what happened.

Sheriff Greg Riat says his office received a report regarding the man around 3:45 Tuesday morning; and, when Deputies, assisted by Riley County Police Officers, arrived at the location, they discovered 27-year-old Josh Bearden.

The Georgia resident, suffering from unspecified, non-life threatening injuries, was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Riat says Bearden told authorities he was injured during an altercation with two unknown suspects, having been taken from rural Geary County against his will, and left at the Rocky Ford Fishing area.

He alleges the suspect fled that location in his white, 1997 Dodge Dakota pickup truck.

Riat says the vehicle has a license tag of RGH3041, and anyone who sees it, or who has any information about the case, should call his office at 785-457-3353.
