Near Block E on March 31, spring arrived with a .44-caliber bang.
The hero of the day was Minneapolis Police Officer Jomar Villamor, who quickly apprehended the suspect. It turned out that Officer Villamor was working off-duty, as were many of the police who responded that Friday night to the murder of a Minnetonka mortgage underwriter.
Though the city can’t afford to “recklessly” staff up, uniformed Minneapolis police are allowed to work off-duty up to sixty-four hours per week! The same families who keep exurban highways and byways are itching to clean up our entertainment district. Why not let the
private sector provide this win-win?
