Trooper charged in fatal crash had prior suspensions, reprimands for earlier crashes

The state trooper charged with killing a woman during a high-speed chase in May had been suspended twice previously for crashing his squad car and received written reprimands for two other crashes, according to the trooper’s disciplinary record.

And the Stearns County sheriff says advanced DNA technology helped track down the parents of a newborn baby whose remains were found in a roadside ditch more than 40 years ago — the investigation closed without filing any criminal charges.
