North Branch Police release body-worn camera video of fatal shoot
A North Branch Police Officer fatally shot 36-year-old Jamie Crabtree on June 27.
NORTH BRANCH, Minn. — North Brand Police released body-worn camera video the night 36-year-old Jamie Crabtree was fatally shot by an officer.
Officers told Crabtree to put the gun down. Crabtree can be heard saying “I don’t want to live,” before she was shot.
North Branch Police said officers rendered aid to Crabtree, but the video doesn’t show it. Officers waited over 10 minutes before they approached Crabtree to place her in handcuffs.
Before they approached officers can be heard telling Crabtree to “roll away from the gun,” and “we’ll help you, if you keep rolling away from that gun.”
The officers told Crabtree a few times to not reach for the gun.
“She’s non-compliant. She refuses to get away from the gun at this point,” one of the of the officers said.
The officers requested a shield so they could get to Crabtree to help her.
Dale Anderson didn’t witness the deadly shooting, but he saw the aftermath. He said Crabtree was his neighbor.
“She was a very genuine person. She was very kind and loving,” Anderson said.
He said June 27 was a hard night.
“I wasn’t able to sleep that night, and I stayed up all night,” he said. “I miss her because I would see her every day and we would wave to each and she would always yell over to me, you know, ‘how you doing,’ and I’d say ‘yep, we’re all doing good here.’
Sue Aberholden, executive director of NAMI Minnesota, said it’s important for mental health professionals to respond to a mental health crisis. She said it’s difficult when weapons are involved.
“It becomes more difficult for the crisis team to go out. They’re not really prepared for those situations, and that’s typically when police are called,” Aberholden said.
She said there are some situations when crisis teams will meet officers at locations because they have teams located in all 87 counties. She said crisis teams can resolve a lot of issues over the phone, but they need more funding.
“I think we could increase the investment in our crisis teams, again, it’s a small amount of money. We need to put more in there. There’s a drop in funding in the next biennium. We tried to work to get that funding up this last session, but there just wasn’t enough money to do that,” Aberholden said.
She encourages people to call 988 if they are experiencing a mental health crisis.
The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office said that determining the identity of the remains will be a lengthy process.
TWO RIVERS, Wis. — The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after skeletal remains were found on private property on Saturday.
A local deer hunter came upon the remains in Two Rivers, which is the same town where 3-year-old Elijah Vue was last seen.
“We are fully aware of the ongoing case of missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue, who disappeared in February. However, at this time, we are unable to confirm if the remains discovered are related to this case,” said the sheriff’s office in a Facebook post.
The office added that determining the identity of the remains will be a lengthy process.
“The Sheriff’s Office is working closely with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Wisconsin State Crime Lab, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Anthropology Department, Two Rivers Police Department, and the Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office,” said the statement.
The youngster was last seen at a residence in Two Rivers, where prosecutors said his mother had sent him to stay with her boyfriend.

Darnold, who signed as a free agent after being a backup in San Francisco last season, was 19 of 24 for 208 yards and one interception that came on a deflected pass.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes in a highly efficient performance and Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Minnesota Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.
Darnold, who played his home games at MetLife Stadium for three seasons after being taken No. 3 overall by the Jets in 2018, had touchdown passes of 3 yards to Justin Jefferson and 21 to Jalen Nailor in his Vikings debut.
Darnold also had a 22-yard pass to Josh Oliver to help set up Aaron Jones’ 3-yard TD run that put Minnesota ahead 7-3 late in the first quarter and got Kevin O’Connell’s team off to a good start as it looked to rebound from a disappointing 7-10 season.
Van Ginkel’s left-handed grab of Daniel Jones’ swing pass deep in his own territory late in the third quarter put an exclamation point on a solid defensive performance by Brian Flores’ unit and had Giants fans booing loudly as they headed to the exits down 28-6.
Darnold, who signed as a free agent after being a backup in San Francisco last season, was 19 of 24 for 208 yards and one interception that came on a deflected pass.
RELATED: What is the new dynamic kickoff?
Jefferson had four catches for 59 yards, with his TD coming on a quick slant on a fourth-down pass. It capped a 99-yard drive that he ignited with a 44-yard catch.
Graham Gano kicked field goals of 23 and 50 yards for the Giants, who played just like the team that posted a 6-11 record last season.
Jones, who was coming off major knee surgery, did not play well and got little help from either his new revamped offensive line or his receivers. First-round draft pick Malik Nabers had five receptions for 66 yards, including two for 25 yards.
Jones finished 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions.
Giants co-owner and chief executive John Mara said after last season he wanted to see significant progress this year. But New York did little on offense with coach Brian Daboll taking over the play calling and the Giants got little pressure on Darnold despite acquiring edge rusher Brian Burns from Carolina in the offseason.
