Olmsted County Sheriff

The man suspected of stealing the truck is also accused of ramming a vehicle into the truck owner's garage.

The crash occurred shortly before noon on Saturday.

The suspect allegedly said he would start a fire.

The charges indicate a drug-related 911 call led to the discovery of drugs and items reported stolen from a Stewartville construction site.

Authorities say he threatened to use an AR-15 to shoot up the business.

Deputies responded to the report of a vehicle resting on its roof near Oronoco yesterday.

The gun was reported stolen out of Owatonna in 2021.

The suspect allegedly threatened to harm a Sheriff's Deputy's family while he was being booked into the Olmsted County jail.

The pursuit began when a deputy attempted to stop the man to make a warrant arrest.

There's an enforcement and education campaign planned for today.
