In Minnesota, a killer who was recently released from a life sentence after a tribunal found that a shoddy investigation may have resulted in his wrongful conviction in the killing of an 11-year-old girl was accused of carrying a loaded revolver and possessing drugs. During a traffic check in Robbinsdale, Minnesota—a suburb of Minneapolis and Saint Paul—police detained Myon Burrell, 37. His 2016 white Chevrolet Tahoe was stopped by police for driving recklessly and exceeding the posted speed limit, according to a police news release.

Police claimed that they discovered cocaine and a revolver inside the SUV, both of which Burrell was not allowed to possess. He was scheduled to return to court on October 17 after his Friday appearance. Paul Applebaum, his attorney, refuted the charges.
