"Missing Maine 3-year-old boy found after search
VIENNA, Maine --A pilot with the Maine Warden Service is being credited with spotting a 3-year-old boy from Vienna who had wandered away from his home.
Ben Lehr was reported missing about 2:30 p.m. Sunday by his father. He was found unhurt about two hours later.
Officials say pilot Dan Dufault spotted Ben in the tall grass a distance from his home.
The Kennebec County Sheriff's office says searchers also discovered 147 marijuana plants allegedly being cultivated by the missing boy's father, 41-year-old Jonathan Lehr.
The elder Lehr is now facing charges of marijuana cultivation and endangering the welfare of a child. The Department of Health and Human Services is also investigating.
So no spanking.
Lehr did not immediately return a call left at his home seeking comment.
