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. After agreeing to speak with police, Rousey claimed that he had paid for his pizza but had stolen the orange soda, which a Kwik Trip employee later claimed he had shoved down the back of his pants, and three Hershey’s candy bars. While he was being searched, officers located an unlabeled pill container in Rousey’s right front jacket pocket. The container held a powdery substance,

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

Woman allegedly assaults 2 officers, drunkenly crashes into trucks, homes

A woman faces multiple pending charges after she allegedly drove into multiple vehicles and houses while intoxicated and left two officers with non-severe injuries Monday evening around 6 p.m. in Northfield. Neighbors said the woman drove through multiple backyards, pointing out tire marks in the grass they said her vehicle left behind. Katherine Anne Niles, of 201 Greenvale Ave., Northfield, was charged by the Rice County Attorney’s Office with two counts of fourth-degree assault against a peace officer, obstructing the legal process, leaving the scene of an accident, DWI and refusal to submit to a chemical test despite a search warrant. The worst charges carry a maximum sentence of 3 years and a $6,000 fine. According to the criminal complaint, Niles was driving a 2007 Saturn VUE when she struck two homes and two vehicles along Second Street W, then hit a third vehicle on Plum Street S, where officers stopped and arrested her. The complaint says officers smelled alcohol on Niles, who was found crying in the driver’s seat of her heavily damaged car. She told officers “she did not know how she got there but knew she messed up,” according to the complaint. A preliminary breath test registered

1-vehicle crash leaves one hospitalized in Sauk Centre

A Belle Plaine man was hospitalized after his Dodge Ram pickup truck went into a ditch early afternoon Friday in Sauk Centre. Travis John Bennett, 48, was driving east on Interstate 94 just before 2 p.m. Nov. 6, when the 2017 Ram 1500 Pickup left the roadway, according to a Minnesota State Patrol report. Authorities took Bennett to the Sauk Centre Emergency Room for injuries they said were not life threatening. Stearns County Sheriff’s Office and the Sauk Centre police and fire departments assisted at the scene. Police do not suspect alcohol was involved. Bennet was wearing a seatbelt. The most recent preliminary state statistics breaking down factors in fatal incidents goes through the end of September, which was the highest month so far in traffic-related deaths. Most of September’s fatalities were linked to speeding, with 14 deaths relating to the factor, followed by not using a seat belt at 12 fatalities, followed by alcohol influence, which was linked to 10 deaths. Most fatal crashes involve multiple vehicles, unlike the Sauk Centre incident. Out of 274 fatal crashes to date, there were 304 fatalities.

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

This year’s Veterans Day program at the Saint Peter High School gym will have an even more special significance with the posthumous awarding of an SPHS diploma to the late Frederick (Fred) Brenke, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War in the summer of 1967. This year’s program is set for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the SPHS gym. All area veterans are welcome to attend, and a special reception for veterans will be held before the program.

Several members of Fred’s family will be in attendance at this year’s Veterans Day program, and will be presented his diploma posthumously by Saint Peter High School Principal Annette Engeldinger.
