At approximately 5:15 pm on June 26th, the Sheriff's Office received a report of a raft going over the Linn Grove Dam. Three occupants were thrown into the water and were clinging to debris caught in the dam before being rescued.  The yellow raft remained caught in the boil until it finally popped and sunk to the bottom of the river.  The 3 subjects were seen coming to shore to unload equipment prior to going over the dam.  One subject was arrested for public intoxication, the owner of the vessel immediately ran from the scene and was never located again.  The 3rd subject was tested for alcohol but registered below .08 & was released.  None of the individauals were wearing life jackets.
