Who is Vance Boelter's wife? Jenny Boetler detained at Minnesota traffic stop with weapon, ammunition and more
The report stated that two cop cruisers were at the scene for two to three hours. While Jenny was held for questioning, she was not arrested.
It is unclear if the Boetlers lived with each other, as Vance is believed to live at a residence in Camden, Minnesota. That resident was raided by SWAT teams on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Vance is on the loose and is being sought in connection to several shootings, including that of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in their Champlin home early Saturday, June 14, leaving them seriously injured. He then went to former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortmon's house, where he allegedly killed her and her husband, police sources told the New York Post.
Vance and Jenny appear to head Praetorian Guard Security Services, a Minnesota-based company 'here to set up security options and provide security services right to your doorstep and property to keep what you own safe and secure,' per its website. The site, which lists Jenny as President and CEO, says, 'Jenny brings years of organizational operations and logistical oversight to the team. She has served and continues to serve on numerous boards and has helped organizations reach world class effectiveness.'
It adds, 'Jenny is ready to help get your security needs in order for your home and your property so Praetorian Guard Security Services can give you the best coverage available!'
On the website, Vance is listed as the Director of Security Patrols.

Delhi Police nab ‘ascetic' who killed his estranged wife after she refused to accompany him to Bihar
The Delhi Police Saturday arrested a man who allegedly hacked his estranged wife to death at their son's house in South Delhi and stayed in hiding in an ashram. The police said the accused, Pramod Jha, 60, told them that he had an argument with his wife Kiran Jha over her 'extra-marital' affairs hours before he killed her in her sleep on August 7. Kiran had left her husband 10 years ago and was staying with their son Durgesh Jha and his family in Delhi's Neb Sarai area, according to the police. Since his wife left him, Pramod had been living as an ascetic in his village of Jamalpur in Bihar, and he sustained through small donations he received, said the police. The police said Pramod told them that he left Bihar 25 years ago and worked as a guard in Delhi. He then got into religious preaching and became a self-styled saint in the capital, said the police. Pramod lived with his family in Neb Sarai but left for Bihar in 2016 after he started suspecting his wife of extra-marital affairs, said the police. He then started living with his ailing mother in Bihar, and she passed away in May this year, they added. 'On June 31, he travelled on the same train from Munger in Bihar to Delhi as his wife, who was there to attend her mother's funeral. He arrived in Delhi on August 1, and his daughter took him to her grandmother's house in the Devli village. A heated argument erupted between the accused and his wife over alleged extra-marital affairs,' said Ankit Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), South. In a fit of rage, Pramod allegedly brutally murdered his wife with a hammer while she was asleep. The police said he had brought the hammer from his village, planning the murder in advance if his wife did not follow him back. According to the police, after the murder, Pramod re-dressed as a saint and fled the scene. The police circulated lookout posters across the capital in a bid to nab the accused. 'From the analysis of CCTV footage, the police found out that the accused fled around midnight on August 6, dressed in the attire of a saint. The team followed his movement via multiple CCTV cameras, tracing his route. He used auto-rickshaws, took lifts on two-wheelers, and travelled some distance on foot across Badarpur, Jaitpur, Moladband, Meethapur, and Harinagar areas,' DCP Chauhan said. The breakthrough came after a five-day search when the head priest at a Pitampura-based ashram saw the poster with Pramod's picture and recognised him. 'The head of an ashram at Pitampura revealed that a man matching the description of Pramod, who was referred by a disciple from Bihar, was staying at their Qutubgarh branch. Immediately, a team led by Inspector Pawan conducted a raid and arrested Pramod Jha,' DCP Chauhan said.

Qantas Airways fined $59mn for illegal pandemic layoffs
A judge on Monday (August 18, 2025) fined Qantas Airways 90 million Australian dollars ($59 million) for illegally firing more than 1,800 ground staff at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The penalty is in addition to the AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation that Australia's biggest airline had already agreed to pay its former employees. Qantas confirms personal data of over a million customers leaked in breach Australian Federal Court Justice Michael Lee said the outsourcing of 1,820 baggage handler and cleaner jobs at Australian airports in late 2020 was the 'largest and most significant contravention' of relevant Australian labour laws in their 120-year history. Qantas agreed in December last year to pay AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation to former staff after seven High Court judges unanimously rejected the Sydney-based airline's appeal against the judgment that outsourcing their jobs was illegal. The Transport Workers Union, which took the airline to court, had argued the airline should receive the largest fine available — AUD 12,12,12,000 ($7,89,69,735). Australia's Qantas confirms cyber incident at contact centre, customer data exposed Mr. Lee ruled that the minimum fine to create a deterrence should be AUD 90 million ($59 million), noting that Qantas executives had expected to save AUD 125 million ($81 million) a year through outsourcing the jobs. Mr. Lee questioned the sincerity of Qantas's apology for its illegal conduct, noting that the airline later unsuccessfully argued that it owed no compensation to its former staff. 'If any further evidence was needed of the unrelenting and aggressive litigation strategy adopted in this case by Qantas, it is provided by this effort directed to denying any compensation whatsoever to those in respect of whom Qantas was publicly professing regret for their misfortune,' Mr. Lee said. "I do think that the people in charge of Qantas now have some genuine regret, but this more likely reflects the damage that this case has done to the company rather than remorse for the damage done to the affected workers,' Mr. Lee added. 'Qantas chief executive Vanessa Hudson, who was the airline's chief financial officer during the layoffs,' said in a statement after Monday's (August 18, 2025) decision: 'We sincerely apologise to each and every one of the 1,820 ground handling employees and to their families who suffered as a result.' 'The decision to outsource five years ago, particularly during such an uncertain time, caused genuine hardship for many of our former team and their families,' she said. 'Over the past 18 months we've worked hard to change the way we operate as part of our efforts to rebuild trust with our people and our customers. This remains our highest priority as we work to earn back the trust we lost,' she added. Mr. Lee ruled that AUD 50 million ($33 million) of the fine go to the union, because no Australian government agency had shown interest in investigating or prosecuting Qantas. 'But for the union … , Qantas' contravening conduct would never have been exposed and it would never have been held to account for its unlawful conduct,' Mr. Lee said. 'Hence the union has brought to the attention of the court a substantial and significant transgression of a public obligation by a powerful and substantial employer,' Mr. Lee added. A hearing will be held at a later date to decide where the remaining AUD 40 million ($26 million) of the fine will go. Michael Kaine, national secretary of the union that represents 60,000 members, said he felt vindicated by Monday's ruling (August 18, 2025), which ends a five-year legal battle that Qantas had been widely expected to win. 'It is a significant — the most significant — industrial outcome in Australia's history and it sends a really clear message to Qantas and to every employer in Australia: Treat your work force illegally and you will be held accountable,' Mr. Kaine told reporters. 'Against all the odds, we took on a behemoth that had shown itself to be ruthless and we won,' Mr. Kaine added. Qantas has admitted illegally dealing with passengers as well as employees in its responses to pandemic economic challenges. Last year, Qantas agreed to pay AUD 120 million ($78 million) in compensation and a fine for selling tickets on thousands of cancelled flights. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, a consumer watchdog, sued the airline in the Federal Court alleging that Qantas engaged in false, misleading or deceptive conduct by advertising tickets for more than 8,000 flights from May 2021 through to July 2022 that had already been cancelled.
