Category: Drug Crimes | Drug Trafficking

The El Parian restaurants consistently serve authentic Mexican food and provide good service for relatively cheap prices. However, if you’ve been to the restaurants in Eagan or Lakeville since August (the location in Long Lake has closed down), you may have noticed a change in management.

Why? Because the owner of El Parian was caught using the restaurants as a front for drug trafficking.

El Parian Owner Charged with 46 Counts of Criminal Drug Trafficking

The Super Bowl brings us some great commercials every year… and some that aren’t so great. One of the least popular commercials featured Justin Beiber dancing for T-Mobile, which gave Minnesota’s Wyoming Police Department a great idea.

Soon after the commercial was aired, the department posted a tweet that said “If you drive drunk tonight we’re going to subject you to that Justin Bieber @TMobile Super Bowl Commercial the entire way to jail. #SB51.” The tweet received over

In recent years, Minnesota upped the ante for any minor staying out past curfew – they would get a ticket, head to court, and have the infraction on their record so that it would follow them if they were caught breaking other rules.

If you think getting legal authorities involved for kids staying out late seems a little harsh, you’re not alone. Curfew in Hennepin County is currently 9 P.M. for children under the age of 12, 10 P.M.

When someone is facing felony charges, there is a lot at stake. Jail times, high fines, and other criminal penalties may be just the beginning – especially if the charges result in a conviction.

After completing their sentence, it’s not uncommon for a person to have to “start over” with a new job and a new living situation. Unfortunately, this is much easier said than done. Not surprisingly, there is a huge negative stigma that felons have to face,

Admit it: we have all been to a party and gotten a bit out of control. Usually, we wake up at home the next morning and have to endure the punishment of a hangover… and possibly figuring out what kind of trouble we caused the night before.

But what happens if you wake up in a hospital or detox facility?

You may not know this, but under certain conditions peace or health officers may put you in a

The college football season has come to a close, but the University of Minnesota’s team is still making headlines – and not in a good way.

P.J. Fleck was just hired on as the new head coach of the Golden Gophers football team after Tracey Claeys was fired. Many credit the decision to let Claeys go to his involvement in the team’s proposed boycott of the 2016 Holiday Bowl.

Minnesota Drug Sentencing Guidelines to Stay the Same

If you follow the news, you may have heard about a proposal that would affect the consequences of minor drug offenses in our state.

Prior drug offenses can add years onto a person’s sentence, even if they have served their time and the offense was committed years in the past. In August, a proposal was made to change the way that these past drug offenses affect sentencing. Under the proposal, prior drug offenses would have less of an impact,
