A jury convicted Dennis John Hannuksela, 64, of two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree and two counts of Kidnapping. On May 15, 2021, Hannuksela took an adult female to a logging road in rural St. Louis County where he bound the female victim with zip ties and sexually assaulted her.

St. Louis County is seeking volunteers to serve on its Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) Advisory Committee. The committee is responsible for making recommendations to both the County Board and the PHHS Department regarding public health and human service needs of St. Louis County communities and residents. 

A propane tank attached to a heater exploded, causing significant burns to two people inside the cabin.

Neighbors rescued the two adults from the fire. The cause remains under investigation but is believed linked to a furnace that was being repaired at the time of the incident.
