Someone dismantled parts of the exterior fence at Lang Farms near Eden Valley and released about 35,000 mink from their cages, according to the Stearns County Sheriff's Office.

Police say an officer using a stun gun to restrain a naked man accidentally set the man's chest hair and beard on fire. Officers found the 32-year-old naked man standing in the street in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. They say the man yelled that he wanted to harm people living nearby. Officers suspected he was impaired by drugs and placed him in handcuffs, but the man struggled and refused to enter a squad car. That's when one officer deployed a stun gun, striking a lighter in the man's hand. The lighter fluid and electricity combined to spark the fire in his beard and chest hair. As officers extinguished the blaze, the man punched one of them in the face.
