An arrest warrant was issued on Friday for Scott Kendrick Lindgren, who is charged with holding a teenager hostage near Wrenshall on May 15.
The Carlton County Sheriff's Office reported that the arrest warrant was issued on Friday for Lindgren, 21, for felony threats of violence and first-degree aggravated tampering with a witness and is the result of an investigation into Lindgren's activities since he was released on bond on Tuesday. The investigation into Lindgren's activities is ongoing, according to the Sheriff's Office, which stated that it can't release further details at this time.
Anyone who sees or knows the location of Lindgren is asked to use caution and call 911.
Lindgren was charged earlier this month with seven felonies related to the May 15 incident at a home in Silver Brook Township. Lindgren and accomplices allegedly held a 17-year-old Duluth teen against his will, tying him to a chair and carving the word "snitch" into his chest.
The two-story home where the alleged kidnapping and assault took place was severely damaged in a fire early Monday morning. No one was home at the time of the fire.
