Polk County (trfnews.i234.me) — Authorities in Polk County have arrested Frederick George Rush, 51, on serious 3rd-degree felony drug charges under statute 152.023.2(a)(6). Rush was apprehended on April 11, 2025, for allegedly possessing methamphetamine or amphetamine within a designated school, park, or public housing zone — areas meant to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
This statute enhances penalties due to the location of the offense, underscoring the severity and danger such crimes pose when committed near children and families. This incident is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against drugs infiltrating safe zones across Minnesota.
The investigation remains ongoing as local authorities assess whether further charges may be brought in connection with broader trafficking concerns.
