The officer reserved a bed at Stepping Stones emergency housing for the man, and Allina transported him to Unity Hospital for treatment.

In all incidents where an arrest occurred, a charge is merely an accusation, and not evidence of guilt. The arrested person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Incidents generally appear in the order in which they were reported, not necessarily the order in which they occurred.
