Posted 6/4/2026, 1:59:55 PM Updated 6/4/2026, 2:17:49 PM By Keely Arthur, 5 On Your Side reporter A Facebook group connected to an alleged Stanley Cup ticket scam has changed its name after 5 On Your Side began asking questions. Earlier this week, 5 On Your Side spoke with Greensboro resident Rebecca Cornwell, who said she lost $1,000 while attempting to purchase Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Final tickets through a Facebook group that promoted ticket sales among fans. Cornwell told WRAL she was connected with a group administrator who claimed to be acting as a middleman between buyers and sellers. After sending payment through Zelle, Cornwell said the tickets never arrived. Following that report, the Facebook group had undergone a significant rebrand. The group previously operated under the name "Carolina Hurricanes Verified Ticket Exchange." It is now called "Canes Verified Tickets" and features a different profile image.  » Read More

BENSON, Minn. — An emotional debate in Swift County has been resolved in what members of the County Board said they hope is an amicable if costly manner. The commissioners at their Tuesday, June 2, meeting unanimously approved transferring ownership of K-9 Red to his handler, Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Henriksen, for $5,000. “With all the parameters, all the issues it touches, this is probably the best result if it is amicable for everyone,” said commissioner Gary Hendrickx, who made the motion for the transfer. “A highly emotional subject,” said commissioner Pete Peterson. “I understand that and I understand protecting the county’s investment for the taxpayers.” But he added: “I feel the $5,000 is way too much.” The fate of Red, a Malinois-Shepherd mix originally from Slovakia, recently became the focus of debate when Deputy Henriksen submitted his resignation via email to the county’s human resources officer, while accepting another position. In his resignation email, the deputy asked to purchase the K-9 and the equipment for the dog for $1. Henriksen has been the handler since the dog was acquired in March 2022 at about 11 months of age.  » Read More

The fast moving Lobstick Fire has prompted an evacuation order in the Rural Municipality of Shellbrook and on Saturday Shellbrook Fire and Rescue said in a Facebook post that people driving on the back roads were hampering rescue efforts, with water bombers having to abort drops due to people being where they shouldn’t be. “It’s human nature to be curious and want to see the fire, smoke, helicopters and water bombers up close,” the Facebook post read. “Emergency vehicles travel quickly and you are putting your own lives and theirs at risk by being out there.” The evacuation order includes individuals in the RM of Shellbrook who live in the hamlet of Holbein one mile west and five miles east of Shellbrook and are south of Hwy 3 to the rural RM of Shellbrook border.
