MPD investigating potential drugging at bar

The Minneapolis Police Department is investigating several instances of underage women being potentially drugged while drinking at a popular bar near the University of Minnesota.

Three women were treated at a Minneapolis hospital with similar symptoms, with one woman reporting she was given a drink at a bar in Dinkytown.

Police say between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. Sunday, three women arrived at Hennepin Healthcare with "similar symptoms of illness and alcohol-related issues." 

According to police, two of the women were 18-years-old and one was an unidentified woman. 

Officers were only able to speak with one woman, who said she began feeling sick after drinking alcohol at a bar in Dinkytown, and that she had an alcoholic beverage that was given to her by another person, police said. 

Police say they completed a report on the incident but did not say if it was an active investigation.
