ST. CLOUD The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic relations (CAIR-MN) called on law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for an intrusion into a St. Cloud mosque by a man with a dog Friday.
Assistant Police Chief Jeff Oxton confirmed that the St. Cloud Police Department is investigating.
"We're trying to locate the person," Oxton said. "We took a call of a suspicious person and we are looking into it, to identify who the person is and why they went into the mosque with the dog."
CAIR-MN said a white male entered the Central Minnesota Islamic Center Thursday evening with a large dog. According to a press release, the man wandered in the mosque and was seen by worshipers as he left.
