Suspect in Redmon assault arrested after cutting off monitor

BRECKENRIDGE (AP) — A 54-year-old Minneapolis man who already faced charges in an alleged assault on former University of Minnesota football player Tellis Redmon has been jailed after cutting off his electronic monitoring device, getting into a police chase, then drawing a hunting bow on officers. Police in Breckenridge said a 911 call came in at about 7 a.m. Saturday about a suspicious person at the Blazer Express station in western Minnesota. Security camera video shows a man cutting off his ankle bracelet inside the store before driving off in a pickup truck, police said. A chase ensued involving multiple law enforcement agencies and speeds of up to 90 mph. The man eventually crashed into a street sign in Breckenridge. Police said the motorist got out of the truck holding a bow, and officers fired bean bag and pepper ball rounds at him. The man was arrested and taken to a hospital for minor injuries before he was taken to the Wilkin County Jail. No officers were hurt.
