Fergus Falls man charged after recording minors, and women in business restroom
A Fergus Falls man has been charged after police say a hidden cellphone was found recording in a business restroom. According to the Fergus Falls Police Department, officers were called around 7:35 p.m. July 2 to a business in the 200 block of West Cavour Avenue for a report of suspicious activity. A press release states a complainant told police their 15-year-old child had used the restroom and noticed a concealed cellphone. Police say an in-depth investigation led to the seizure of the phone and the arrest of 39 year-old Ramon Zavala of Fergus Falls. Zavala is no longer employed at the business, authorities said. The Otter Tail County Attorney’s Office has charged Zavala with felony interference with the privacy of a minor with sexual intent, felony interference with the privacy of a minor, and three additional counts of gross misdemeanor interference with privacy. Investigators say that after reviewing the seized phone, they found additional images of females using the restroom. The images are believed to have been recorded between June 30 and July 2, 2026.
Man Convicted Of Stabbing Police Officer
A Stearns County jury has convicted a man of stabbing a St. Cloud police officer following a domestic dispute last year. The jury convicted 47-year-old Kyeon Hill of felony 1st-degree assault - use of deadly force against a police officer. Hill was accused of stabbing police officer Virgilia Schreiner in the arm as she was placing him under arrest for a domestic disturbance in May 2025. Officer Schreiner then fired her gun at Hill, hitting him in the shoulder. Another officer tased Hill and took him into custody after he fled the scene on foot. The incident unfolded when officers responded to the 600 block of 8th Avenue North. A woman had called 911 to report that Hill had threatened her. Officers found Hill sitting in a vehicle at that location. They told Hill to drop the knife he was holding and exit the vehicle. When he exited the car, police say he stabbed Officer Schreiner in the arm, causing a puncture wound. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says a pocket knife was recovered at the scene. Hill will be sentenced on the felony charge on September 21st.
