Former Stewartville home park community operator agrees to pay $135,000 in settlement
Jun. 12—ST. PAUL — The former owner and operator of a manufactured home park community in Stewartville agreed to pay $135,000 after facing allegations that it submitted false claims to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The state alleged that Sun Communities, Inc. violated three counts of the Minnesota False Claims Act, an act that works to combat fraud against the government. The civil complaint, filed in March 2024, alleged that Sun Communities attempted to evict several tenants for not paying their rent. However, in these instances, Sun Communities received the tenants' payments through RentHelpMN, a federally funded program created after COVID-19 that provides financial support to help Minnesota families pay rent. According to the complaint, Sun Communities "repeatedly affirmed" that it would not evict tenants for not paying rent after receiving their rent payments through the program. RentHelpMN required landlords like Sun Communities to comply with the "statutory and regulatory prohibition on evicting tenants." The state alleged that Sun Communities applied RentHelpMN to pay for "unlawful late fees, pet fees" and other unauthorized fees. Hennepin County District Judge Susan Burke ordered that $33,824.09 of the $135,000 be paid as restitution, which will be credited to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. "What Sun Communities did was unlawful," Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a release. "The pandemic created economic hardship, so the government stepped up and helped struggling families make rent payments. It is disappointing that any property owner would accept those payments and then still try to evict their tenants. Today, we are holding one of those property owners accountable. I am grateful to the whistleblower who helped bring this wrongdoing to light, and I encourage other Minnesotans who believe government funds are being misused to contact my office." Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, who represented Sun Communities, did not immediately respond for comment. Sun Communities, Inc. previously owned and operated the community located at 105 20 St. NW, Stewartville.

Woman arrested, accused of stalking and drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baker woman was arrested after being accused of a drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge. According to an affidavit, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office was called to the 5200 block of Bangor Drive about a shooting on the morning of May 15. When they arrived, deputies saw that two cars, as well as a home, had been hit by gunfire. Several of the bullets entered the house. During an interview, detectives learned that one of the victim's former dating partners had shown up at the home earlier that day, knocking on the windows. One of the victims identified the suspect as Rea Herrera, 30. Through an investigation, detectives obtained video surveillance of the incident. The video showed a car matching the description of Herrera's vehicle passing the residence several times before the shooting. The car was seen passing the home about one minute before a witness said they heard gunshots at around 1:17 a.m. EBRSO deputies attempted to interview Herrera at her home in Baker, but she denied being involved in the shooting. She became uncooperative and tried to run back into the home, but Baker police officers were able to detain Herrera. After securing a search warrant for Herrera's home and car, detectives found several spent bullet casings in the vehicle and an iPhone inside the home. The cell phone revealed a photo of a note, reading 'give me my shxt,' that was allegedly left at the victim's home by Herrera. Cell phone data confirmed that Herrera was in the area at the time of the shooting. Herrera was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of four counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, assault by drive-by shooting, and stalking.
