Officers arrested the man without incident outside of his apartment building just before 2 p.m. Wednesday on the 3700 block of West St. Germain Street after an on-going investigation.

The man was taken to St. Cloud Hospital for evaluation, and his apartment and garage were secured and searched. MPD’s bomb squad was brought in as a precaution.
