The charges say the 37-year-old man met the victim on Snapchat.

Rochester Police say they are also aware of similar crimes occurring in nearby communities.

He had been accused of striking a man on the head and then repeatedly punching him after the victim fell to the ground.

The same woman was previously charged in connection with a shooting that left her with a gunshot wound to her lower body.

Court records show he was arrested after crashing into two vehicles and a building before fleeing on foot.

The case was scheduled to go to trial next week.

The conviction stems from of violent domestic incident last summer.

Olmsted County prosecutors cited evidentiary issues for the decision.

The law enforcement pursuit on Highway 52 started near Zumbrota.
