Northern Minnesota escaped inmate captured

An inmate who escaped from a facility in St. Louis County last month has been taken into custody.

On Tuesday at around 11:30 a.m., law enforcement executed a search warrant on the 200 block of Eighth Avenue Northwest in Cohasset, according to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office.

Michael Hart, 40, was arrested on an active warrant for escaping from the Northeast Regional Corrections Center in Saginaw on Sept. 23.

The sheriff’s office said he was found underneath the basement stairwell in the home and refused to leave.

Authorities deployed PepperBall, which led to Hart being placed in custody; however, he was uncooperative after being put in handcuffs and assaulted deputies on scene.

A 29-year-old was also arrested for aiding an offender, according to the sheriff’s office.

Both Hart and the 29-year-old were booked into Itasca County Jail, pending arraignment for new charges.
