Charges have been filed after a high school basketball player was assaulted and seriously injured during a game in the Twin Cities earlier this week. Authorities say the victim was struck on the head with a tire-iron.
U.S. District Judge John Tunheim praised Wayne R. Dahl Jr. for his “extraordinary cooperation” in a decade-long investigation that led to five dozen convictions.
The City Council voted Thursday to approve a $600,000 settlement in the case of a woman who accused then-officer Derek Chauvin of excessive force in 2020, just a few months before he would murder George Floyd.
Dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who received pardons from President Donald Trump had past criminal convictions for charges including rape, manslaughter, domestic violence and drug trafficking.
The city of Minneapolis has apparently reached a settlement with a woman who claims then-police officer Derek Chauvin used excessive force against her in 2020. Months later, Chauvin murdered George Floyd by pinning him to the ground in a similar manner, according to a lawsuit.
Beltrami County law enforcement agencies are planning how they will use federal aid after the area was designated a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, or HIDTA. They say they need to counter a precipitous increase in the amount of opioids and amphetamines flowing into the area.
The lawsuit alleges the agencies have failed to adopt regulations that are adequate to protect water resources from farm-related nitrate pollution. It also asks the agencies to reopen state rules that govern animal manure and commercial fertilizer, major sources of nitrate contamination in groundwater, lakes, rivers and streams.
Chief Brian O'Hara has joined a group of law enforcement leaders decrying President Donald Trump’s pardons for all who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
