Deputies arrested a 45-year-old woman "without incident," the sheriff's office said. WCCO typically does not name suspects until they are formally charged.
"This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim," Sheriff Luke Hennen said. "This investigation is ongoing, and no further details will be released at this time."
Multiple agencies are investigating the man's death.
