WINONA, Minn. — A 34-year-old Winona man was arrested on a warrant that he engaged sexually for weeks with a girl less than half his age. Edward Lee McFarland was arrested at his home in the 1000 block of West Broadway Street. The complaint originated with the teenager’s mother. The girl, age 14, confirmed the relationship, police said. When McFarland was arrested, police found a military-style AR-15 rifle in his place. Because of a court record, McFarland had been prohibited from possessing a firearm, which meant an additional charge. The arrest was about 5:20 p.m. McFarland offered no resistance, police said.
