Medallion Hunt controversy, 'Wizard of Oz' ruby red slippers update

The man who admitted stealing a pair of ruby red slippers worn during "The Wizard of Oz" will not go to prison.

And the annual Saint Paul Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion was found over the weekend, but some community members have called into question the decision to hide it at a culturally important Native American site.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
