The Dunn County Sheriff's Office is concerned about keeping the community informed about the operations of the Sheriff's Office. One of the ways we accomplish this is by regularly keeping the news media, and therefore the public, informed of the events involving the Sheriff's Office and its personnel.

Press releases are generated by field supervisors and contain factual information about an event. Press releases are approved by command staff and then distributed to local news media as soon as possible.

Death Investigation - Village of Downing

On December 31, 2009, Deputies from the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a residence in the Village of Downing. It was reported that a male subject was found deceased at that residence. That male subject was identified as 37 year old Adrian M Albrecht. After further investigation it was determined that the death was suspicious in nature.  Members of the Dunn County Sheriff’s Department, West Central Drug Task Force and the Hennepin County Narcotics Unit conducted a joint investigation into the death.  The Ramsey County Medical Examiner determined Albrecht died of “Heroin Toxicity.” 

Criminal complaints and warrants were filed yesterday in Dunn County for 32 year old Richard Roiz and 36 year old Jessica Quirt.  Roiz is currently incarcerated at the Hennepin County Work House.  Quirt was arrested today by the Hennepin County Narcotics Unit. They both are charged with First Degree Reckless Homicide in the death of Albrecht. It is unknown if they will be waiving extradition or if an extradition procedure may have to be completed. No further information is available at this time.
