ST. CLOUD When Alyssa Reinholz saw an opening for a new victim specialist at the Stearns County Sheriff s Office, she thought the job would be a perfect fit.
With an education in criminal justice and sociology, as well as experience in several law enforcement offices in the area, Reinholz s job as the department s first victim specialist will be to help residents navigate the criminal justice system after they report a crime. How I see it, my main role here is to make sure that victims aren t slipping through the cracks, she said.
Since she started the job in mid-March, Reinholz updates victims on the status of criminal investigations or, in cases where a crime has not taken place like a fatal accident she reaches out to offer support.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. Several bank employees are being held hostage inside a Wells Fargo bank and police are trying to negotiate their release with the help of the FBI.
Negotiators were working late into the evening - six hours into the standoff - to free all hostages. At least three of the captives had been released as of 8:00 p.m. CT.
A local TV reporter posted a video Thursday evening, showing a female hostage being released to awaiting armed law enforcement officers outside the front door of the bank. Someone inside also hurls what appears to be a wad of cash out the door, and the bills float in the air for several seconds.
