A new black bear sighting was just spotted in Southeast Minnesota. The latest one is near a popular campground near Wabasha, leading to these safety reminders and tips from the Wabasha County Sheriff's Office.

Chief Deputy Curt Struwe was sworn in as the southeast Minnesota county’s 29th sheriff on Wednesday morning.

Both drivers involved in the crash are from Plainview.

Earlier this year, Wabasha County Sheriff Rodney Bartsh announced that he will not seek re-election.

A post published on the law enforcement agency’s Facebook page Tuesday morning says he has been missing for over 24 hours.

He was arrested following an hour-long standoff in an area near Chester Woods Park east of Rochester.

On Friday the Wabasha County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of 69-year-old Stanley Alan Munstermann of Madison, MN for the death of 63-year-old Barbara McBride-Law.

The Madison, MN man was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder with intent, second-degree murder without intent-while committing a felony, and first-degree manslaughter.

All three hunters were taken to a hospital.

He was accused of repeatedly abusing the victim over a period of multiple months.
