LEWISTON, Minn. – Police flushed four people from a house at the Arches enclave near Farmers Park after a report of gunshots from the house. There were no arrests. The report of gunshots had come from a man who said he had been called by a woman at the house to come pick her up. While waiting, he said, two shots were fired at him. He sped away and called 911. Police couldn’t raise anyone at the house by phone, so they scrambled 19 officers and the Winona MRAP Bearcat armored vehicle to the scene. They blared a message from the Bearcat that everyone come out with hands up. One by one, two men and two women emerged and were cuffed. There had been no shots fired, said a man who had been in the house, but he admitted throwing firecrackers out a window to scare off the man who had driven up in first place to pick up a woman inside. To avoid congestion in the narrow Arches coulee during the raid, traffic on U.S. Highway 14 was detoured on backroads between Lewiston and Stockton The house, at 23121 Highway 14, has a troubled recent record. It was raided also in January with four drug-related arrests
