Minneapolis police Sunday announced the arrest of a 34-year-old Anoka County man in connection with a series of sexual assaults of young women in the Marcy-Homes and Dinkytown neighborhoods that date back several years.

The arrest comes a month after the Minneapolis police department released a sketch of the alleged suspect while offering a reward leading to an arrest.


MPD officials say they received a number of tips but did not say how that information led to the apprehension of the man on Friday at a home in Ham Lake.

"The young women who are attending the University of Minnesota deserve to be free of that fear of having this person amongst them," said MPD Chief Deputy Eric Fors in a live-streamed news conference.

 “There were a multitude of investigators within the MPD and within other jurisdictions that would not rest until we found this individual. A lot of detectives and officers put their heart and soul into these cases," Fors said.

Charges could come as early as Monday.

Police say the man now in custory was linked to attacks that happened as far back as 2013 and as late as last month.
