LEWISTON, Minn. – A man sought on arrest warrants slipped out the back door of a house at the Arches as deputies were knocking on the front door. The man disappeared into the night. The house, on U.S. Highway 14, has been on a Winona County sheriff watch list especially since recent incidents involving drugs in the area and also transient visitors. Aware of the possibility of resistance to arrest, deputies stationed three squad cars at the address. This was about 19:30 p.m. Because the house backs up to steep wooded bluffs, a traditional perimeter wasn’t possible. Nobody answered when deputies knocked at the front door with the arrest warrants. Without a search warrant, deputies didn’t attempt to enter. The arrest warrants were from Wisconsin for drugs.
