An Aggravated Robbery, Obesity Issue and CEO Steering Medtronic-Fridley Rewind

It was supposed to be a meeting  between two men to consider a potential car sale.
But their encounter turned into a fight and shot fired that led the alleged seller getting charged with first-degree aggravated robbery.
Charged with first-degree aggravated robbery this past week was Tyjuan Lashawn Cunningham, 22, no permanent address. Cunningham was also charged with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and reckless discharge of a firearm.

That was was one of the top stories of the past week on Fridley Patch.
