Man Fires Shot at Eagan Officers During Early-Morning Arrest
Police say the suspect was detained, evaluated at a hospital then booked on weapon-related charges.
Overview
- A domestic-disturbance call that brought officers to the 4400 block of Lynx Court Saturday morning led police to contact people outside the home.
- Officers tried to detain a man who resisted and refused commands and, while being restrained on the ground, the man fired a single shot toward the officers.
- No one was struck by the gunfire and officers completed the arrest after several minutes with the involved officers and the suspect treated for minor injuries.
- The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and later booked into Dakota County Jail on pending weapon-related charges while investigators continue their probe.
- Eagan police say there is no ongoing threat to the public and local prosecutors will review the investigation before final charges are determined.
