A suspect in the alleged assault at MSU's Gage Towers Monday is in jail today. Mankato Department Of Public Safety investigators used information from MSU Campus Security to identify several suspicious vehicles. One plate led authorities to St. Paul.
Mankato Department Of Public Safety Detective Commander, Matt DuRose said, "Through the course of the investigation and developing some early leads, we were able to follow–up on those leads and identify a suspect. We worked with St. Paul Police at identifying that suspect further and maybe some places where they would be.
