Drunk Man Rescued From Flooded River After Drifting For 7 Miles

An Indiana man has given the fictional pirate Capt Jack Sparrow a run for his money when he was found sleeping in a raft drifting down a swollen river with a bottle of rum in his lap.
The Midwestern swashbuckler, identified as 54-year-old Morris Ferguson, had to be rescued after floating 7 miles down the flooded Blue River in Crawford County on Sunday. 
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources shared photos of Ferguson's flimsy vessel drifting down the murky brown river toward a dam.
