US–SENATOR ARRESTED-MINNESOTA
A judge blocks the release of an ex-Minnesota senator accused of soliciting a minor
SUMMARY: A judge has blocked the release of a former Minnesota state senator who resigned after he was charged with soliciting a minor. Prosecutors say Justin Eichorn tried to obstruct the FBI’s investigation from jail and lied to court personnel when he said he didn’t have a gun at his apartment. U.S. Magistrate Judge Shannon Elkins on Monday ordered that Eichorn remain jailed pending a pretrial hearing scheduled for Wednesday. The 40-year-old former Republican lawmaker from Grand Rapids was charged in federal court last week with a felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.
