Jeffrey John Fritz II, 36, Cottage Grove, was charged in Dakota County District Court Monday, April 24 with felony fugitive from justice.
On April 21 a vehicle without an operable brake light traveling near Red Wing Boulevard in Dakota County was observed by law enforcement. A traffic stop was conducted by a deputy and the driver, Fritz, was identified by his driver’s license.
The deputy learned that Fritz had an active warrant in Pierce County, Wis. for failing to appear at a status conference on charges of possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Once the warrant was confirmed, Wisconsin confirmed the extradition. Fritz was booked into the Dakota County Jail.
