I-94 Sex Assault Investigation Transferred to Stearns County

ST. CLOUD -- An investigation into a possible sexual assault that started with a traffic stop on a semi truck east of Moorhead has now shifted to St. Cloud.

A Minnesota State Trooper stopped the semi on I-94 on Monday afternoon after a woman reportedly sent a text to Otter Tail County dispatchers saying she had been sexually assaulted by the driver. She was taken to a Fargo hospital.

An investigation into the incident indicates the assault took place in Stearns and Clay counties. The case has been turned over to the Stearns County Sheriff.
