US Bank executive Terry Dolan believed to be dead following plane crash near Minneapolis
A top US Bank executive is believed to be dead after a small plane registered in his name crashed into a home near Minneapolis on Saturday.
The unidentified pilot was killed in the crash and no other injuries were reported, authorities said.
The Hennepein County Medical Examiner hasn’t confirmed the identity of the sole victim, but many believe that US Bancorp’s Vice Chair and Chief Administration Officer Terry Dolan was killed in the crash — including his coworkers.
“We are aware that the plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park on Saturday afternoon was registered to Terry Dolan, our vice chair and chief administration officer. At this time, the medical examiner’s office has not been able to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was,” US Bancorp wrote in a statement.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday’s tragic incident.”
Dolan, 63, became the company’s vice chair in 2023. He was in charge of marketing and analytics at the company, among other operations.
Beyond Bancorp, he was an active philanthropist and served on the Killebrew Thompson Memorial’s board of directors as well as at top cultural institutes like the Minnesota Opera and Artspace. He also served on the boards of Catholic Charities and The Minneapolis Foundation.
On Saturday, Dolan’s plane crashed into a house around noon in Brooklyn Park, Minn. The home burst into flames, but miraculously, no one inside the house was injured.
The plane originally departed from the Des Moines International Airport in Iowa that morning. It was just 10 minutes away from landing at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis when it crashed into the suburban neighborhood.
The medical examiner’s office is expected to release the identity of the killed pilot once the investigation is concluded. Crews started early on Sunday recovering the wreckage and documenting the accident site.
A preliminary report could take up to two weeks to finalize, Timothy Sorensen, a National Transportation Safety Board senior aviation accident investigator, told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Minneapolis man arrested in Manchester after allegedly trying to meet minor for sex
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 Ranked Among U.S. Cities With The Most People In Financial Distress
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.”
