Hit and Run Arrest
The St. Cloud Police Department is issuing an update on a hit-and-run crash at 13th Street North and 10th Avenue North on January 29th. Officers were responding to a call to assist Pope County authorities in searching for a vehicle that was involved in a burglary there. A St. Cloud officer spotted the vehicle leaving a parking lot in the 4100 block of Division Street, but the driver eluded the officer. A short time later, the suspect's vehicle was reported to be involved in a crash in North St. Cloud, with the driver fleeing on foot. The suspect, 29-year-old Colton Armstrong of St. Cloud, escaped the scene. The St. Cloud Police SWAT team served a search warrant at around 5:00 a.m. Wednesday morning in the 1300 block of 9th Avenue South. Armstrong was arrested at the scene without incident and was booked into the Stearns County Jail on a Department of Corrections felony warrant for violation of release, a Pope County warrant for 3rd-degree burglary, and probable cause for fleeing police in a motor vehicle.
Train Fire
A train caught fire on Wednesday as it was passing through Brainerd. The Brainerd Fire Department responded to the situation involving a Burlington Northern Sante Fe railway engine around 10:30 in the morning. Assistant Brainerd Fire Chief Dave Cox tells Lakeland News that while at the fire station, he saw the train on fire headed westbound. They were able to get the locomotive stopped near Cypress Drive, and after ensuring the conductor and engineer were out of the train, crews worked to extinguish the fire. Cox said it appears some filters were on fire and that it was possibly caused by an electrical issue. The railroad crossing at SW 4th Street was closed for part of the day but has reopened.
Two Vehicle Crash
One person was injured in a two-vehicle crash in Stearns County. The Minnesota State Patrol says the incident happened on Wednesday at about 6:20 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 23 and County Road 49 near Cold Spring. A 17-year-old girl from Glencoe was driving a car south on Highway 23 when it collided with a Jeep heading north that was attempting to turn left.

The driver of the Jeep, 48-year-old Michael Vogt of Cold Spring, was not hurt. The Minnesota State Patrol was assisted by Cold Spring Police and Mayo Ambulance.
