WINONA, Minn. – A St. Paul man believed to have smashed a glass door at Sloppy Joe’s tavern and stolen $200 was arrested at the Amtrak depot waiting for a train back to St. Paul. Justin Guy Adams, 56, was carrying cash and six grams of meth, police said. The break-in at the bar, at 526 East Third Street, was discovered about 5:30 a.m. The money was missing from behind counter. Surveillance video showed the burglar, whom a bartender recognized from the night before and claiming to be from St. Paul. Police found Adams at a quarter-mile away at the train depot about 8:30 a.m. Apparently he didn’t have an Amtrak timetable. The Borealis wasn’t due for nine hours and the Empire Builder not for another four hours after that.
