Prosecutor: No charges in strike force case

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hennepin County prosecutors won't file criminal charges against anyone connected to the Metro Gang Strike Force, which was disbanded last year after a highly critical audit of its operations.

The Star Tribune reports Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced his decision Wednesday. He says there wasn't enough admissible evidence to charge anyone. He says the investigation was hampered by some officers' refusal to talk.

However, the investigative report produced by his office included several stinging criticisms of the strike force, including "haphazard, substandard, and at times inaccurate record keeping."

Public Safety Commissioner Michael Campion shut it down in July 2009 after a Legislative Auditor's report said it had poor internal controls for tracking seized and forfeited property.
