Bomb-lab defendant sentenced in Monticello weapons case

MONTICELLO — Years before a roadside explosion led authorities to a Big Lake home filled with homemade explosives, guns and 3D-printed weapon parts, Jantje Rorman had already landed in court over another homemade weapon — this one fired at Montissippi Regional Park. Rorman, 51, was sentenced Nov. 4 in Wright County District Court for violating probation in the 2022 Monticello weapons case. He was sentenced to 188 days in jail but received credit for all 188 days already served, meaning he will serve no additional jail time in the case. The court also closed the case. The sentence comes about a year after Rorman's arrest in a high-profile Sherburne County explosives case that began when a deputy witnessed a roadside blast in Big Lake Township. At the time of that incident, Rorman was still subject to probation conditions from the Monticello case prohibiting him from possessing firearms or dangerous weapons. Gun fired at Montissippi The earlier case began Dec. 16, 2022, when a Wright County sheriff's deputy responded to Montissippi Regional Park after receiving a report of a firearm being discharged. According to the criminal complaint, a man was fishing near the river embankment when Rorman arrived in a green

Suspect flees T-Mobile, leads police on pursuit

A man suspected of attempting to fraudulently use another person’s identity at T-Mobile in the 19000 block of Freeport Street NW fled the store Oct. 30 and later evaded police in a vehicle, according to police. Officers arrived as the suspected fraud was being investigated, and the man fled on foot before getting into the passenger seat of a vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled, leading to a pursuit. Police eventually terminated the pursuit. An officer located the vehicle a short time later and followed it while providing location updates to help gather additional resources. The vehicle was last seen traveling northbound on Highway 169 near County Road 4 in Zimmerman. The investigation remains ongoing. Driver cited after Proctor Avenue crash A 57-year-old St. Cloud woman was taken to the hospital after a crash Oct. 29 at Proctor Avenue and School Street NW.

ISD 728 weighs facility options after referendum defeat

Unofficial results from all 34 precincts showed 20,925 voters, or 55.46%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.54%, who supported it. The 4,118-vote margin left the district facing the challenge of addressing needs that Superintendent Andy Almos says remain even though the proposal did not receive enough support to move forward. “While we are disappointed, we respect the voters’ decision,” Almos said in a written response to the Star News. “We now need to listen carefully, understand the concerns that shaped the outcome, determine a path forward, and understand the tradeoffs of not moving this proposal.” Almos said he was encouraged by the community’s engagement and the questions raised during the district’s information process. He was hopeful heading into Election Day but did not take the outcome for granted. The result, he said, does not necessarily indicate which parts of the proposal voters opposed or what concerns ultimately determined the outcome. “It tells us this particular proposal did not receive enough support,” he said. “The result alone does not tell us whether the deciding concern was cost, the combination of projects, timing or something else.” The proposal included up to $350 million in bonds and a 10-year capital

Farber, Michels win Zimmerman council seats; 13-vote margin could lead to recount

Larry Farber and Karen Michels will fill two seats on the Zimmerman City Council, but the outcome of the second seat could face another review after Michels edged Dave Earenfight by just 13 votes. According to the reported results, Farber led the three-candidate field with 1,144 votes, or 33.70%. Michels received 1,113 votes (32.78%), while Earenfight finished with 1,100 votes (32.40%). There were 38 write-in votes. All eight precincts reported, with 100% of precincts reporting in the results posted by the Minnesota Secretary of State. The city is reviewing Minnesota’s election recount provisions to determine whether the 13-vote margin qualifies for a publicly funded recount. According to the Sherburne County Auditor/Treasurer, to have a publicly funded recount the difference must be less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the total votes counted for that office. “There were 3,395 votes cast for this office,” Zimmerman City Clerk Kary Tillman said. “If the math is correct, .25% would be less than 8 votes for a publicly funded recount of the Zimmerman City Council election.” Under that interpretation, a recount requested by a candidate would be considered discretionary and would have to be requested in writing and funded by the candidate. Earenfight said
