Three charged in connection with riot
Authorities have charged three people in connection with the violence that erupted Saturday after the Minnesota Gophers won the NCAA men's hockey championship.
Hennepin County prosecutors charged 19-year-old Travis Hinck with felony property damage after he allegedly damaged a booking van from the inside. Police said they took him into custody after he allegedly hurled a bottle at them.
The Minneapolis city attorney's office charged two others with misdemeanors. Police estimate that more than $100,000 in damage was caused by crowds in the Dinkytown neighborhood.
A Minneapolis police spokesman says the damage includes a $25,000 television van and four other burned cars. Eleven people were arrested, including seven University of Minnesota students, in the melee.
Sartell toddler pinned under truck
An accident has left a rural Sartell toddler critically injured. According to the Stearns County sheriff's office, 18-month-old Jacob Weyer was hurt Monday morning when he was pinned under a pickup truck.
Jacob's father, 40-year-old Clarence Weyer, said he had last seen the boy playing elsewhere on the family's property. The pickup, which was used for yardwork, had been left idling in neutral.
