Man in custody in connection to threat that closed South St. Paul schools, police say

A 29-year-old man from St. Paul, Minnesota, is in custody in connection to threats that led to Wednesday's closure of all public schools in neighboring South St. Paul.

Police say it started with a 911 call overnight Wednesday in St. Paul, where "an individual involved, who had fled the scene prior to officers' arrival, had made a specific threat of violence against South St. Paul Public Schools, along with other offenses."

Around 10:30 a.m., police say the suspect turned himself in at South St. Paul Police headquarters. He was then "transferred to the custody of the St. Paul Police Department for continued investigation and transport to the Ramsey County Jail."

South St. Paul students transitioned to E-learning Wednesday "out of an abundance of caution," district officials said.

This situation comes just one day after Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan ISD 196 closed its 30-plus schools due to a threat that was eventually deemed not credible.
