(Gazette photo) Rock County Sheriff’s deputies, along with help from fire and EMS personnel from Milton, Edgerton Janesville, and Fort Atkinson, pluck a couple of jet skiers from the waters of Lake Koshkonong. The emergency dispatch center got a call a little after 9:00 p.m. Thursday from a 46-year-old Milton man saying his personal watercraft flipped over and he couldn’t find his 28-year-old passenger from Eau Claire. Rescuers responded to an area about one-and-a-half miles northwest of Dallman’s Landing on Charley Bluff Road and found the operator by 9:40 p.m. , and the passenger a little more than 15-minutes later. Both were wearing their life jackets. Deputies say they’d also been drinking, but weren’t over the legal limit. The driver was cited for reckless operation and operating a personal watercraft after sunset. The passenger was taken to the Rock County Jail on a probation violation.
