Wetumpka Man Drowns on Lake Jordan

The Elmore County Sheriff’s Office says a 23-year-old Wetumpka man has drowned in Lake Jordan.

Carlton Corbett was with a church group when investigators say he got off the boat and drowned. Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin says Corbett was by a low ledge of rocks near a surface of water and did not seem to be in trouble before he went underwater.

The Chilton County Dive team took 5 minutes to locate the body.

Marine Police, firefighters, and Elmore County investigators also helped in the search.
