The Stearns County Board of Commissioners took their first step in deciding whether to renovate the current Law Enforcement Center or build a new jail.
We now know what the loud noise was that caused the Law Enforcement Center in downtown St. Cloud to go into a lockdown on Saturday. The Stearns County Sheriff's Office says the "gunshot" noise was most likely a blown bicycle tire.
Stearns County is moving ahead with plans to remodel their jail and plan for a future facility. The county board has appointed a committee to oversee a short-term remodeling of the Stearns County Jail.
