PERRY COUNTY, Ohio — A man is recovering after falling into Tecumseh Lake in Perry County Sunday afternoon.

Shawnee Fire Chief John Arkley told the Zanesville Times Recorder that rescue crews were called to the lake around 1:20 p.m.

Several departments responded to the scene to assist in the rescue. 

The man was flown to Grant Medical Center and is expected to be OK, Arkley said.
