Escaped teen in Mpls. park robbery surrenders
A teenager arrested in a robbery at a south Minneapolis park is back in custody after cutting off his electronic monitor and fleeing last week.
Officials say the 15-year-old turned himself in Sunday night at the juvenile detention center in downtown Minneapolis.
KSTP-TV reports officials confirm the teen had removed his electronic ankle monitor Wednesday night.
The boy had been staying with his grandmother after a judge allowed his release with electronic monitoring in mid-December.

Four teens were arrested after a mother was sexually assaulted and robbed while cross-country skiing with her two young children in Powderhorn Park last November.
Police followed footprints in the snow to a garage, where officers stopped an alleged sexual assault on two girls, ages 16 and 18.
The other three teens remain in custody.
