Report: Police Arrest Kiffmeyer Grandson in Alleged Gun Incident

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that police arrested a 17-year-old grandson of state Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer (R-Big Lake) at her Big Lake home Thursday night:

The 17-year-old, identified by Kiffmeyer’s husband, Ralph, as their grandson, was threatening to harm himself and his mother, according to law enforcement scanner traffic. The boy’s mother called 911 from outside the home. The boy was taken into custody without shots being fired or anyone being injured, Ralph Kiffmeyer said, adding that his wife was not at home during the incident.

“He (the grandson) was spending some time with us, the last six to eight weeks,” Ralph Kiffmeyer said. “We tried to help out a situation, the usual teenage disagreement with parents. He messed up. He realizes he messed up.”
