St. Louis County is looking for a 21- year-old Roseville, MN man who has gone missing after canoeing in high waves.
Around 4 PM yesterday, rescue teams responded to Sand Lake in the Britt area for a water emergency.
Philip Poulose and a friend were canoeing on the lake when their canoe began to flood due to high waves.
Poulose swam toward the shoreline and his friend swam to a small island where he was eventually rescued. Neither had a life jacket with them.
St. Louis County continues to search the island and the lake for Poulose.
