The plastic unicorn and its passengers ended up stranded on a Chisago County lake when the flotation device hit a patch of weeds and couldn’t go anywhere, despite the women having paddles on hand. Luckily for them, police were driving by and saw they were in a bit of distress. > [](https://twitter.com/ChisagoCountySO/status/1028410586382716928) Deputy Scotty Finnegan came to their rescue, throwing the women a rope and pulling them back in to a dock. “With a handful of laughs and some mad rescue roping skills they were pulled back to the dock!” the Chisago County Sheriff’s office tweeted, along with the hashtag #wherestheglitter. No one was hurt during the rescue, including the rainbow-colored unicorn, which also made it safely to shore. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5364968/unicorn-float-rescue/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5364968/unicorn-float-rescue/"},"headline":"Minnesota Cops Saved These Women Stranded on a Unicorn Float","datePublished":"2018-08-12T19:04:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:54:16.831Z","description":"Thanks to 'mad rescue roping skills'","url":"https://time.com/5364968/unicorn-float-rescue/","keywords":["Newsfeed","U.S.","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt04762d90ce93310f/69893790457a52be8ad5f15b/women-stuck-on-unicorn-floatie-saved-by-police.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alix Langone","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alix-langone/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt04762d90ce93310f/69893790457a52be8ad5f15b/women-stuck-on-unicorn-floatie-saved-by-police.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Young man lying back on inflatable unicorn in sea, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA\"","caption":"\"Young man lying back on inflatable unicorn in sea, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA\"","creditText":"Sean Murphy - Image Source/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5364968/unicorn-float-rescue/","name":"Minnesota Cops Saved These Women Stranded on a Unicorn Float"}}]}] ```
