He noted that so far this election cycle, 263,435 absentee ballots have been received by the county and 209,306 were accepted by the absentee ballot board.

While the absentee board had party balance, it did not include anyone from the Republican Party’s election judge list. Hennepin is Minnesota’s most populated county with more than 1.2 million residents and nearly 815,000 registered voters.

How a Wisconsin pizzeria’s error led dozens to eat pizza made with cannabis oil

The total number of people who were hospitalized as a result of the contaminated pizza and the extent of the injuries were not immediately clear. The health department did not immediately respond to a question seeking that information. But the department said it had “received dozens of reports” from people feeling affected and alluded to multiple people having been sent to the hospital.

“Possible THC-related symptoms include dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, short term memory impacts, time distortion, and sleepiness,” the department said. “Keep in mind each person’s reaction may be different, and the concentration of THC in the pizza can vary by piece.”

The comments on Famous Yeti’s social media posts were overwhelmingly positive. Many people expressed appreciation for the business’ openness about its mistake and expression of regret. A few customers also — possibly in jest — saw the news as even more reason to patronize the restaurant.

“When i come and I wink twice,” one commenter wrote, “I want that pizza alright lol.”

Friends testify about Madeline Kingsbury’s abuse in Adam Fravel trial

DuBois also told the court about a talk she had with Kingsbury in mid-March 2023, a few weeks before Kingsbury went missing. Kingsbury had planned to leave Fravel by then, but she told DuBois that Fravel had said “she would not be leaving with his kids,” according to DuBois.

In a meeting at a hotel near Mayo around the same time, DuBois said she noticed a reddish mark around Kingsbury’s neck. DuBois asked Kingsbury if there was anything Kingsbury needed and later provided her with some concealer so others wouldn’t notice.

“(Kingsbury) said she was figuring out a plan so that it didn’t happen again,” DuBois said.

During cross-examination, defense attorney Zach Bauer pointed out that DuBois, Scott and Kolka all became familiar with each other after Kingsbury’s disappearance, implying their conversations about the case may have led them to become biased against Fravel.

Bauer challenged Kolka on how she stored items she took from Kingsbury’s house in April 2023, when Kingsbury was still considered missing. Kolka turned over to law enforcement bedsheets that came from Kingsbury’s house after Kingsbury’s body was found in June 2023, but Bauer pointed out those items, as well as other evidence law enforcement examined at Kolka’s house, wasn’t properly secured.

“Anybody could have come through the house at that time,” he said during questions.

Willmar MN teen charged with attempted murder in drive-by shooting

A feud between two teenagers in Willmar over the weekend has left one wounded and the other charged with attempted murder.

Carsten Ronald Tallman, 18, of Willmar was charged Tuesday with attempted second-degree murder, drive-by shooting toward a vehicle, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and two other felony charges, according to a criminal complaint.

He was in custody at the Kandiyohi County jail on Wednesday morning. The victim has been released from the hospital, Willmar Police Capt. Michael Anderson said in an email Wednesday morning.

According to the criminal complaint:

Police received a report of 10 possible gunshots early Sunday near Eagle Ridge Drive north of Willmar.

Shortly after, CentraCare Rice Memorial Hospital reported a gunshot victim, a juvenile who said he had been shot in the back as he was driving home from a party. The teen said a car had followed him and crashed into this vehicle, and that he had been trying to get away.

Police said they knew Tallman and the victim had been having a disagreement. When they went to Tallman’s home, they said they found a red Chevrolet Impala with a still-warm engine and a damaged headlight.

Tallman told police that he had been sleeping, had not left his house in days, and had not driven the red Impala that day. But police said Tallmans’ girlfriend told them that he had woken her and told her he had hit a deer that night. They also said that Tallman’s cousin told officers he saw him leave the house.
