 Authorities have identified a Minneapolis man who drowned last week while swimming in the St. Croix River at the Afton State Park Beach. The Washington County Sheriff's Office says 27-year-old Jeremy Andrew Paulson was swimming about 20 or 30 feet from shore last Wednesday when witnesses lost sight of him. First responders found Paulson in about 18 feet of water. He later died at a hospital. The incident happened as the St. Croix River and other rivers across Minnesota were in flood stage following heavy rain.
