Three young adults were rescued from a cave near the Mississippi River early Wednesday morning. A call came in to St. Paul police just after midnight. The caller told police that two people had gone into the caves near the Watergate Marina by Shepherd Road earlier in the day and hadn't been seen since. St. Paul firefighters went into the caves and found that there were three, not two, people who needed to be rescued. No injuries were reported. All three were detained by police, but there is no word on if they will face any charges. According to Art Rodriguez with the St. Paul Fire Department, this is not the first time people have gotten stuck in these caves.
The owner of the Press Bar in St. Cloud is charged with two counts of first degree arson for allegedly setting his establishment on fire and burning it to the ground. Andrew Charles Welsh appeared in Stearns County Court Tuesday to face those charges and have bail determined. Judge John H. Scherer set Welsh's bail at $1.2 million without conditions or $200,000 with conditions, which include surrendering his firearms and passport, and agreeing not to leave the state. A criminal complaint filed against Welsh says despite the Press Bar being reduced to rubble the morning of Feb. 17, forensic fire investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Exposives (ATF) were able to determine the fire started on Welsh's desk in the basement of the Press Bar. Prosecutors say the fire patterns and damage observed were inconsistent with light or appliance failure on top of the desk. Electrical appliances and objects from Welsh's desk were examined and no evidence of failure was observed.
