He then ran westbound on St. Croix Street. N., and interacted with several residents. He then entered a vehicle parked on the street facing eastbound, which had been left running with the door standing open as the owner dropped off an item inside his residence. The owner of the vehicle attempted to stop the suspect from taking his car by standing in front of the vehicle, but the naked teen revved the engine and nearly ran him down as he sped eastbound on St. Croix Street. N. The vehicle came to rest in the yard at 322 Oakridge Drive. N. The suspect then fled the vehicle and entered the home at 318 Oakridge Drive. N.

Law enforcement officers from the North Hudson Police Department, Hudson Police Department and St. Croix County Sheriff’s Department set up a perimeter around the residence. At approximately 4:20 p.m. the teen exited the rear of the residence and was taken into custody without incident.
