\u00a0As was noted last week, there’ve been two arrests in the first armed robbery in the 150-odd year history of the Minnesota State Fair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two Saint Paul men were arrested in the August 29 robbery<\/a>\u00a0of the MN Craft Beer booth, which netted (at least briefly) over $100,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

St. Paul residents Antontio Washington, 20, and Jarret Maiden, 35, have been booked into jail in suspicion of being behind the $10,000-plus heist, which was the first armed robbery in the fair’s history.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But there’s a mystery!<\/p>\n

As was noted on this blog during the fair<\/a>, the Minnesota State Fairgrounds was posted, for the first time since “shall issue” carry reform passed in 2003, as a gun-free zone.<\/p>\n

State Fair police spokesperson Brooke Blakey tells us the gun believed to have been used during the robbery has been recovered, but declined further comment, citing the active investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
