Man arrested after threatening women and children, shooting at officers in Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS — Police in Minneapolis arrested a man Sunday morning after he allegedly broke into a home and threatened his child’s mother, then went to another home and shot at officers trying to apprehend him.
The incident began just after 3 a.m. when a 911 caller in south Minneapolis said the father of her child broke into her house, assaulted her and threatened to kill her, according to the city’s police department.
Police learned there was an order of protection against the suspect.
Seventeen minutes after that call, a ShotSpotter activation brought police to the 2300 block of West Broadway Avenue. A 911 caller also reported shots fired at a home.

A grandmother and two children, one 7 years old and the other an infant, were also in the home, according to police.
When police entered the home, they encountered the armed suspect, who fired at least once at the officers, MPD said. The department said officers did not shoot back, and the suspect retreated to the second floor of the home. He then allegedly jumped out of a window and tried to flee before being arrested.
“We are incredibly grateful that this situation did not turn out much more dangerous and even deadly than it was,” MPD Chief Brian O’Hara said. “I am incredibly thankful that there was no one seriously injured. I am incredibly, incredibly grateful for the bravery of the Minneapolis police officers who responded here, entered to confront an armed suspect, put their lives on the line and exercised extreme restraint under the most difficult conditions.”
Police said they found a handgun behind the home. The man was taken to Hennepin Healthcare for observation and treatment for minor injuries before being booked on suspicion of assault. Police said he had multiple open warrants for assault and weapon offenses.
The man allegedly assaulted the grandmother during the incident.

MANCHESTER, Iowa — A Minnesota man has been arrested in Manchester after police say he attempted to meet someone he believed was a minor for sexual activity.
The Manchester Police Department said Robert Fenn Eselby III, 23, of Minneapolis was arrested Feb. 27 following an undercover investigation.
According to police, Eselby contacted an undercover officer posing as a juvenile through several social media platforms. Authorities said he was informed multiple times that the person he was communicating with was underage.
Investigators say Eselby sent explicit photos and videos and later arranged to travel to Manchester to meet the supposed minor for sexual activity.
Police said Eselby was taken into custody immediately after arriving in Manchester and was transported to the Delaware County Jail.
Authorities also said Eselby allegedly attempted to ask an arresting officer out on a date during the booking process.
Eselby faces one count of grooming, a Class D felony, and one count of disseminating obscene material to a minor, a serious misdemeanor.
Court records show he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis is ranked among the American cities with the most people in financial distress nationwide, according to a recent analysis by WalletHub.
The personal finance website, which defines financial distress as having a credit account in forbearance or with deferred payments, looked at the country’s 100 largest cities without data limitations across nine metrics, including average credit score, change in bankruptcy filings year-over-year, and share of people with accounts in distress.
Minneapolis came in 44th on the list, between Stockton, California, at 43rd and Fresno, California, at 45th, according to the ranking.
Nationwide, the cities with the most people in financial distress were Chicago at No. 1, Houston at No. 2 and Las Vegas at No. 3, the ranking said.
“Getting out of the downward spiral of financial distress is no easy feat,” according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
“You may get temporary relief from your lenders by not having to make payments, but all the while interest will keep building up, making the debt even harder to pay off. People who find themselves in financial distress should budget carefully, cut non-essential expenses, and pursue strategies like debt consolidation or debt management to get their situation under control.”
