Guimond raffle reaches dead end
Five hundred raffle tickets purchased to help raise money for the finding of Joshua Guimond are null and void.
Cousin Paul Guimond had set up a raffle for his cousin when he learned that he had to have a permit to hold the raffle forcing him to give the money back. A state gambling control investigator told Guimond that he didn't have the proper permits to hold the raffle after an article appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper.
The board officials, who regulate nonprofit and charitable gambling, said they were trying to work with Guimond to get the proper permits. The raffle was supposed to be drawn yesterday.
Guimond agreed that he didn't have the permits, but says the average person wouldn't know about the rules and appropriate hoops one has to go through. He is asking that those who bought tickets to donate the money to the Security State Bank in Maple Lake to help the family.
Rapist receives seven more years
Isaiah Johnson, 22, already in prison for raping two SCSU students in 1999, was sentenced to an additional seven years for another St. Cloud rape. Johnson will be in prison until 2013.
Johnson is already serving a 14-year, two-month sentence.
Judge Pendleton added the additional sentence for a rape Johnson committed in August 1998. Johnson was linked to that rape after he was caught for the 1999 sex assaults. All of the assaults occurred in the southeast St. Cloud area.
