Driving up the 2, as we pasted Desert Front Rd, we could see the helicopter at the very far end of East Canyon. It hovered for a few minutes, then turned and flew past town towards Mt. High. It turned around again slowly made it's way back towards town. They were lighting up the wash and also between some houses. It would appear to be looking for someone on foot. Sheriff is backed in at Benny's Board Shop, just watching the highway.
