Rochester Police

The alleged drug sale happened during a controlled buy conducted by the Rochester Police Department last Summer.

The case is the result of an investigation initially started by the Department of Homeland Security.

The charges say a detective was portraying a 14-year-old girl on apps and websites known to be “frequented by people who solicit children for sex.”

Mayo Clinic is advising patients and visitors to St. Mary’s Hospital to plan for extra time for arrival and departure due to possible traffic congestion.

A Missing Person Alert issued by the department on Wednesday afternoon indicates he has not been heard from in nearly two weeks.

The operation, which involved an officer posing online as a 14-year-old girl, that led to his arrest began in August of last year.

Court records also indicate he has been charged in a criminal sexual conduct case. Authorities first learned of the allegations earlier this month.

Rochester police made the bust and subsequent arrest shortly before 10:00 Tuesday night.

Two women were wounded in the shooting. Rochester police said the gunshot victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers responded to the gunfire at Roosters Barn and Grill, located at 2280 Superior Dr. NW around 10:45 Sunday night.
