On June 9, 2026, Coon Rapids Police were dispatched to speak with an adult male Victim, [NAME REDACTED] had been seriously assaulted at a residence on Eidelweiss Street NW in Coon Rapids, Anoka County. Victim [NAME REDACTED] had gone to the residence in order to pick up a fraudulent insurance card from a person he knew as "Em". However, Victim changed his mind and asked for his money back. When "Em" handed Victim a $100 bill, Victim [NAME REDACTED] was clearly counterfeit. He confronted "Em" and another person, later identified as Defendant Kevin Robert Larson ([DOB REDACTED]), about the bill.

In response, Defendant grabbed a black Beretta-style handgun and pushed it into Victim's mouth. Two other men in the house began hitting and restraining Victim, and Defendant used a razor-style knife to cut Victim's left forearm. Victim [NAME REDACTED] called police from his vehicle as he was fleeing. Officers met with Victim at a safe location and assessed his injuries. The laceration on Victim's forearm was very severe, at approximately three inches long and a half-inch deep. This was deep enough that the officer could see tendons and fatty tissue.

Victim [NAME REDACTED] injuries and dried blood on his lip. He was transported to the hospital, where medical staff advised that stitches would be required in order to close the wound on Victim's arm. As Victim [NAME REDACTED], other officers responded to the Eidelweiss address, and learned that Defendant had barricaded himself inside a crawlspace of the residence. He ignored multiple commands to come out, and the SWAT team was eventually deployed. A stand-off ensued for several hours, and it took the use of chemical irritants before Defendant finally surrendered.

He was medically cleared before being taken to the Anoka County Jail. It should be noted that in the crawl space where Defendant had been hiding, officers found a counterfeit $100 bill, drug paraphernalia, and several prescription bottles belonging to Defendant for methadone. Defendant has an extensive criminal history, including a prior conviction for felony theft from 2022.
