The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department will resume its search for a missing kayaker on Monday. It tells us 35-year-old Michael Scott of Kalamazoo was reported by friends as missing shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday near the Jasper Dairy Road boat launch along the St. Joseph River in Royalton Township. The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department Marine Unit and Dive Team searched the river Saturday and then resumed the search Sunday. The sheriff’s department tells us an advanced aerial drone was used in the search Sunday along with an underwater drone. The search was considered high risk due to high water, fast flowing water, and debris. Underwater visibility was described as low. The search will resume on Monday and police say Scott is considered missing.
