An Iowa woman was arrested in connection to an incident at a Southern Minnesota Motel 6. Police say that a guest called police after someone has 'shot a bullet' into the reporting person's hotel room door and then 'fled the scene.'
The man, who was ultimately arrested on outstanding warrants after barricading himself inside a residence, confessed to police after being arrested that he indeed was behind the bomb threat.
