Lori Jo MegenuphRepeat

On April 9, 2026, at about 4:02 P.M., an individual identified as LORI JO MEGENUPH [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, was in law enforcement custody for Third Degree Burglary in Court File No. 27-CR-26- 8959 and was receiving medical treatment at HCMC in Minneapolis, Hennepin County. The deputy on guard at Defendant's hospital room removed her leg shackle due to Defendant complaining that the shackle was too large and causing discomfort. The deputy then secured Defendant's wrist to the hospital bed with handcuffs.

A little while later, Defendant slipped her hand out of the cuff, walked out of her room, and started walking down the hallway away from her room. She increased her pace until she was running. The deputy then caught up to Defendant, apprehended her, and escorted her back to her room. On the way, she resisted and continued to try to flee from custody. She continued to resist by dropping her body weight until she eventually cooperated. Given Defendant's conduct in this case, the State believes there is a substantial likelihood that Defendant will not respond to a summons.

Therefore, the State respectfully requests this Complaint issue as a warrant.
