Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Burnsville council upholds massage license denials (hometownsource.com) — Burnsville residents should know the City Council has upheld the denial of massage therapist licenses for workers at New Eden Spa and Risheng/Sunny Massage after a hearing officer cited evidence tied to reviews on a commercial sex website. The decision follows a broader review of local massage licenses triggered by state concerns, and the therapists can still appeal to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
• Man Charged After Allegedly Taking $9,600 in Gaming Computers From Burnsville Costco (limitless-news.com) — A Minneapolis man has been charged with felony theft after authorities say he tried to walk out of the Burnsville Costco on Burnhaven Drive with nearly $9,600 in gaming computers while wearing a high-visibility vest. Burnsville police investigated the August incident, and the case is now filed in Dakota County District Court, with the defendant summoned for a November hearing and presumed innocent pending trial.
• Fraud trials begin and end in federal court this week (americanexperiment.org) — A Burnsville woman, Muna Fidhin, is on trial in Minneapolis federal court, accused of fraudulently obtaining about $656,000 through free-food programs linked to Feeding Our Future and Partners in Nutrition. Jurors are hearing detailed testimony on how her M5 Cafe and nonprofit applied to serve meals, while a separate fraud case in St. Paul shows federal prosecutors continuing to pursue pandemic-era fraud statewide.
