After '46 arrests' in carjacking detail, only 5 people actually charged

MINNEAPOLIS — The announcement sounded significant. "Forty-six arrests and 69 felony-level charges," announced by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office after they and Minneapolis Police spent three days in late January, along with the State Patrol helicopter, targeting robbery and car jacking suspects.

Sheriff David Hutchinson told KARE 11 News on Feb. 2 that a lot of those arrests were specifically for carjacking-related crimes.

But now, three weeks after the arrests, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office says it has only received 12 cases from investigators. Of those, only five could be charged.

And of those, none are related to carjacking.

an upstanding DFLER and a big improvement over the last sheriff, Rich Stanek (who had to shamed into allowing deputies to carry Narcan).
