Sherburne County authorities seek public's help in finding 6-year-old boy

The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office is seeking the public's help to find a 6-year-old boy who has not been seen since getting off his school bus Tuesday afternoon near Becker, Minn.

The boy got off the bus with his siblings near Hwy. 25 and County Road 16 at 4:10 p.m., then ran off to play with the family dog and hasn't been seen since.

The boy, whose name is Ethan, has blond hair and is wearing a light blue Becker Spirit T-shirt, gray Becker sweatpants and a blue hoodie with no writing on it.

Late Tuesday, the Sheriff's Office tweeted that 300 volunteers had come out to search for Ethan. "We're asking others to stay away from the area because it's causing traffic problems that are taking away from our time that could be spent looking for Ethan," the tweet continued.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
