The State Patrol closed down Interstate 94 after at least four semi trucks slid on the icy road, causing traffic backups for miles. The Forum reports at least 100 motorists were temporarily stranded by the interstate closure.

Minnesota State Patrol Sgt. Rick Munoz, state coordinator for a drug training program accused of distributing marijuana to the public, has a history of unprofessionalism.
