    ROSEVILLE, Minnesota (WCCO) — Police in Roseville, Minnesota, say they’ve made an arrest after a woman was kidnapped and assaulted on Wednesday.

Officers arrested a 41-year-old man from Isanti Friday “on suspicion of multiple felony offenses,” police say, alleging he wore a mask while forcing a woman at gunpoint into a vehicle as she left a business near East Snelling Service Drive and County Road C around 5 p.m.

“The circumstances of the incident were particularly concerning because the woman did not know the suspect and the reported attack occurred during the late afternoon in a busy area of Roseville,” police said in a statement released Saturday.

The woman told police the man let her go hours later on St. Paul’s east side. She was later hospitalized for undisclosed injuries.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security assisted in the investigation, police say, and “provided critical investigative resources and assistance following leads, reviewing information, and identifying and locating the suspect.”

Police say they expect to file charges with the county attorney’s office “early next week,” and are withholding more information on the investigation due to its “extremely complex” nature.

“We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while we remain focused on completing this investigation,” police said.

Tanner Christopherson works just down the road from where the kidnapping occurred.

“I’ve never seen anything like that in the five years I’ve been working out of our warehouse here,” Christopherson said. “It’s really troubling that that happened at that time, especially with all those people around, too.”

Data shows that there have been 435 recorded kidnappings or abductions in Ramsey County since 2021. Just 19 of those happened in Roseville, not including Wednesday’s case. Almost all of those kidnappings happened at a home or a hotel, and in all but one, the two people knew each other.

    BUFFALO, Minnesota (WCCO) — Federal authorities are investigating after a small plane crashed northwest of the Twin Cities late Sunday afternoon.

The Federal Aviation Administration says a replica Piper PA-18 crashed while departing from Buffalo Municipal Airport around 4:20 p.m. Officials stated two people were on board, but did not immediately report their condition.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are in charge of the investigation.

Witnesses tell WCCO the plane was headed to Montana, and they saw emergency crews take one person away immediately by ambulance. Later, crews used a tarp to cover parts of the wreckage.

The FAA is supposed to post a preliminary accident report which they say is usually within one business day of the incident occurring.

Buffalo is located about 42 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

    DALLAS, Texas (KTVT) — The State Fair of Texas is in full swing!

This year, fairgoers can expect lower prices in parking, admission, and food. Taylor Pulfer, Director of Communications for the fair, says they “listened to the fairgoers’ feedback” and reduced prices.

Parking was reduced by $5, making it $25. Children ages 3 to 12 can get in for just $10, and Monday through Thursday, everyone gets in for $10 after 5 p.m.

When it comes to food, Pulfer says they worked with vendors to bring fairgoers lower prices, and many vendors offered $10 value meals.

“We want families to be able to come out here, bring their kids, feed everyone, leave full, leave happy,” said Josey Nevins, co-owner, Nevins Concessions.

You can also check the state fair website to see what other discounts are going on

“If you’re a foodie, come out on Thursdays. If you are a ride lover, come out on Tuesdays,” said Pulfer.

For 140 years now families have been snapping pictures with Big Tex. Pulfer says they typically see more than 2 million people on average.

Opening weekend brought in people from all over. One family told CBS Texas they drove all the way from San Antonio.

“We try to make the state fair every year, especially opening weekend,” said David Jordan.

Saturday’s game at the Cotton Bowl also drew football fans for the Grambling State versus Prairie View A&M matchup.

The fair goes on till October 18th, swing by and say Howdy to Big Tex!
