MORA, Minn.
Authorities are ready to arrest former Kanabec County Sheriff Von Thompson -- as soon as they can find him.
Thompson was charged in October with four felonies for allegedly swindling a 91-year-old man of more than $179,000. He was judged a "low flight risk," but now a warrant has been issued for his arrest after he violated the terms of his release.
Mora Police officer Ken Rollins says Thompson has tried to persuade other people in the Mora area to invest money with him, which is a violation of his release.
Police tried to arrest Thompson on Nov. 26, but they weren't able to find him. Rollins says he was last seen around Mora on Nov. 24. The arrest warrant was issued last week.
Thompson was Kanabec County sheriff from 1983 to 1999. Mora is located about 70 miles north of Minneapolis.
