St. Paul Police Chief Sues Mayor Her Over Alleged Harassment and Retaliation

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry has filed a 73-page lawsuit against Mayor Kaohly Her and the city, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The suit claims Her touched his thigh during a budget meeting, made sexual innuendos, and doctored photos of officers. While a prior city investigation found Her’s behavior 'inappropriate' but did not substantiate harassment claims, Henry argues the city withheld the full report. Her’s office denies the allegations, citing the investigation’s findings, while Henry seeks damages for emotional distress and lost wages.

"Rising Demand for Xylazine Test Strips in Ramsey County Amid Public Health Crisis"

Ramsey County Public Health officials are working to address the emerging crisis of xylazine, a dangerous drug often mixed with fentanyl, by distributing test strips to detect its presence in illicit drugs. The test strips have seen high demand, with 2,700 distributed since mid-2023. Public health educators emphasize the importance of knowing the contents of drugs to prevent overdose risks and recommend the use of naloxone and calling 911 in case of a xylazine overdose.
