MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO) – The Moorhead Police Department, Moorhead Fire, FM Ambulance and Valley Water Rescue raced to a possible drowning at the 3100 block of Riverside Shore Drive at 9 p.m. A frantic woman said her husband was next to the Red River and experienced a medical emergency.
Responders narrowed an area to search for the victim as Valley Water Rescue used a drone with thermal imaging and a scent-tracking dog. After extensive searching and receiving conflicting information from the woman the search was called off. Authorities say there is no evidence the man ever entered the river.
Police later located the man who confirmed he had injured his foot but was never in danger
