POLK COUNTY, MN – Authorities in Polk County have arrested Irving Rodriguez, 25, on March 12, 2025, as a fugitive from justice under Minnesota Statute 629.13.
A fugitive from justice charge occurs when a person is arrested in one state based on an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction. Under Minnesota law, individuals facing fugitive charges may be detained without bail pending an extradition hearing, where the requesting state can seek custody for prosecution.
Rodriguez’s specific charges from the other state have not yet been disclosed, but fugitive cases often involve serious offenses, including violent crimes, drug offenses, or probation violations. If Rodriguez waives extradition, he may be transferred immediately. Otherwise, he could face a legal battle to contest the transfer.
Further details on this case will be provided as they become available.
