Stolen Hershey’s candy bars lead to meth bust

A Waseca man has been charged with felony drug possession following a traffic stop initiated due to reports of theft at a Kwik Trip. On Nov. 4, the Owatonna Police Department received a report of a theft at the Kwik Trip at 1075 Frontage Road in Owatonna. Officers reportedly recognized the suspect in the passenger seat and the vehicle from their description and involvement in an alleged theft that had occurred the day prior at the same Kwik Trip. Officers located the vehicle described by the reporting party and initiated a traffic stop near Alexander Drive Southwest and 24th Avenue Southwest. The passenger of the vehicle identified himself as Gary Stanton Rousey, 57, of 211 Eighth Ave. SE in Waseca. Rousey was asked to step out of the vehicle, arrested and read his Miranda rights.

Police: Chaska woman charged with child endangerment after allegedly driving while high

Maria Jose Salcedo, 35, of 1 Riverbend Place #119, Chaska, has been charged with driving while intoxicated and two counts of child endangerment relating to a June 29 event near I-35 mile post 47 in Steele County. The Minnesota State Patrol alleges two separate callers reported a white Jeep heading southbound on I-35 was speeding, crossing over lane lines and almost crashing into other vehicles. Police said troopers saw the vehicle drive by with an inoperable driver’s side headlight and an active rear wiper despite it not raining. While troopers followed the Jeep, it reportedly crossed the fog line and drove on the shoulder of the interstate, and followed the vehicle in front of it “dangerously close.” Police said Salcedo jerked onto the shoulder and slammed on its breaks when the troopers initiated a traffic stop, and the driver’s side tires were reportedly still partially on the fog line. Salcedo’s children, ages 12 and 6, were in the backseat of the Jeep, police said. Asked if she had been drinking, Salcedo reportedly told officers she drank Remy Martin, an alcoholic champagne. Police said Salcedo had an open and partially consumed cannabis edible chocolate bar, a clear plastic bag with marijuana

Long-awaited Steele County animal shelter nears fundraising finish line

The wait for an animal shelter in Steele County has stretched on longer than anyone expected, but the volunteers guiding the project have announced they’re finally close to meeting their goal. After several years of fundraising, they hope to have the shelter up and running soon. Construction is nearly complete on the facility, which stands next to Lake Chase Dog Park. Steele County Humane Society board members Liane Peterson and Deb Singelstad predicted an opening date early next year. Although it was originally budgeted at $2 million, repeated delays and soaring construction costs have pushed the actual price tag closer to $2.4 million. More than once, construction has paused to allow fundraising to catch up. They’re currently seeking “a couple hundred thousand” to finish the building, purchase furnishings and fixtures and give them the initial operating funds they need. Singelstad said that even now a handful of large donations could advance the project’s timeline. “Once we get open, it’s going to be a big asset to Steele County. We’ll be able to house these animals that need help,” she said. Crews are in the third and final stage of construction, installing ceiling grids, electric fixtures, kennels and other necessities.

Waseca holds strong for Finstad as Johnson holds unofficial lead

Democratic candidate Jake Johnson lost Waseca County to incumbent U.S. Rep. Brad Finstad, but he ran ahead of Democratic Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan’s pace in the county even as Finstad built a commanding margin. Johnson claimed victory Wednesday, while Finstad waited until Thursday to release a statement seeking a recount permissible under Minnesota law due to the margin of victory being under 0.25%. If the totals don’t change, it will be the first time a Democratic candidate has won in the state’s 1st Congressional District since Tim Walz in 2018. Countywide, Finstad won 5,136 votes to Johnson’s 3,240. In the Senate race, Republican Michelle Tafoya took 5,297 votes to Flanagan’s 2,805. Johnson won one Waseca precinct and lost the rest. In Waseca Ward 1 Precinct A, Finstad took 356 votes to Johnson’s 286. In Ward 1 Precinct B, Finstad won 230 to 226. In Ward 2 Precinct A, Finstad won 570 to 505, while Johnson took Ward 2 Precinct B by a narrow 205 to 201 margin. Finstad carried Ward 3 Precinct A 142 to 110 and Ward 3 Precinct B 338 to 258. Outside the city, Finstad won Janesville 615 to 453, New Richland 318 to 213 and Waldorf
