Fires still burning after riots in Minneapolis Friday night
Fires are still burning after riots in Minneapolis Friday night, as members of the National Guard hold spots throughout the city.
Six had out-of-state addresses, and one person didn't have address information listed.
City and state officials have repeatedly said over the past day that most rioters are from out of state. Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday morning that as many as 80 percent of the people were outsiders.
The 45 people reviewed by FOX 9 were arrested by Minneapolis Police, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, University of Minnesota Police, or Minnesota State Patrol.
A searchable jail roster is available online.
Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas.
