2nd Suspect Arrested in Home Invasion, Child Abduction

ALBERT LEA-- A second suspect has been arrested after two children were taken at gunpoint from an Albert Lea home in a custody dispute.

The 35-year-old Rochester man was jailed Friday night on felony drug charges in Olmsted County. He is expected to face charges for the home invasion that happened around 9 p.m. Thursday.

Police say the man, along with a woman, forced his way into the home and took the children. No shots were fired.

Albert Lea police Lt. Darren Hanson says Rochester police helped locate the children, who are now safe in protective custody. A 33-year-old woman was arrested in Rochester.

Authorities say the two fled with the children in a vehicle driven by a third person. Police are still looking for the female driver.
