Ray Reco McNeary, the 35-year-old man charged with holding up a Wells Fargo in St. Cloud and taking five people hostage, told the victims during the over eight-hour standoff that he wanted a big show and wanted to be a martyr.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Stearns County District Court, McNeary came into the bank Thursday afternoon upset about alleged fraud activity on his account. The bank manager took McNeary into his office and was unable to locate an account. When McNeary got upset, someone called 911, and a short time later, the manager pressed the silent panic alarm in his office to report the bank was being held up.

Rep. Gene Pelowski
(KWNO)-Rep. Gene Pelowski DFL-Winona is continuing a push to replenish funding for the state patrol.
State Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington asked lawmakers for funding for 25 new troopers and their equipment this week. He said increased traffic fatalities caused by excessive speed make the situation more urgent.
Pelowski pointed out that Minnesota had to import troopers from Ohio and Nebraska to help with security during the Derek Chauvin trial and unrest in Brookly Center following the shooting of Daunte Wright.
Pelowski said the House overwhelmingly voted to replenish the fund.
“We need to replenish that fund and we need to make sure it’s sustainable,” Pelowski said in an interview on KWNO’s In the Know Thursday. “We’ve had a number of law enforcement officials either quit or retire because of the events of last year. So, this is something that needs to be addressed.”
