Court records show he previously served a prison sentence for a conviction stemming from a fatal shooting in Rochester.

You may have seen him on national TV or heard his ads on the radio. But this iconic southeast Minnesota business owner has now decided it’s time to retire.

Officials say a discarded cigarette may have been to blame.

The law enforcement pursuit on Highway 52 started near Zumbrota.

The tragic incident was the seventh traffic death reported in Minnesota since Saturday.

Zumbrota Police issued a request for public assistance after responding to the vehicle-home collision around 2:30 Thursday morning.

A news release issued by the Zumbrota Police Department says the vehicle-house collision happened shortly after 2:30 a.m.

Authorities had been looking for him since he allegedly led law officers on a chase in the stolen vehicle on Highway 52 and then fled on foot a week ago.

Officers responded to the vehicle theft call around 2:45 Friday morning.

The State Patrol says alcohol was involved.
