Minnesota deputies rescue women stranded on unicorn raft

STARK, Minn. � It was not a fairy tale, but a rescue on a Minnesota lake did involve a rainbow unicorn.

A sheriff�s deputy and a reserve deputy from the Chisago County Sheriff�s Office spotted a group of five women on a large, inflatable rainbow unicorn floating on Fish Lake on Saturday.

KMSP-TV reported the deputies pulled their squad car over and asked the women for a photo, but noticed the raft was stuck in weeds.

One deputy threw a rope to the women while the other recorded a video. The sheriff�s office tweeted: �With a handful of laughs and some mad rescue roping skills, they were pulled back to the dock!�

Deputy Scotty Finnegan threw the rope. He said the women would have had trouble getting out of the mucky lake unassisted.
