The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s office rescued a Fond du Lac man who they say wandered on to Lake Winnebago Sunday morning.

Deputies say the man called for help and said he was lost. Rescue crews arrived shortly after and found the man a quarter of a mile off shore.

Officials say alcohol was a factor and he was not dressed properly for the cold weather.  He was transported to the hospital for exposure to the cold.
