Around 5:00 pm Tuesday, Sheriff's dispatchers received a call of a possible drowning in Shaver Lake.
Patrol deputies, members of our Dive Unit and Boating Enforcement Unit responded to search for the 19 year old who had gone under water and never resurfaced. Our sergeant in charge of the Boating Unit happened to be camping at the lake, became aware of the situation and responded on his personal jet ski to help with the search.
Around 7:00 pm, members of the Dive Unit found Jonathyn Bradford about 25 feet off shore from where his family was gathering. Bradford is from Apple Valley (San Bernardino County). Tuesday was his 19th birthday.
