Rochester Police Catch Two Birds with One Stone

Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - Rochester police who were looking for a man wanted for a domestic assault case not only found him but also a woman who skipped a sentencing hearing for a drug conviction.

Officers spotted 38-year-old Brian Vangrevenhof at a local storage locker Wednesday.

They also recognized a woman who was with him as 36-year-old Lisa Philipps. She was facing a possible prison term for a 2016 drug case but was allowed to remain free. When she was taken into custody Wednesday, she had an ounce of meth in her possession.

It’s suspected she got it from Vangrevenhof because a search of his storage locker turned up some meth and evidence of drug sales. He was also arrested.
