Joseph Andrew Bragg is charged with kidnapping to facilitate a felony and first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child under 14, according to a criminal complaint.

Just after midnight Thursday, at about 12:34 a.m., Albert Lea police were alerted to a vehicle traveling southbound on Interstate 35 that was believed to be associated with the active AMBER Alert.

The suspect, Chad Aaron Aanerud, 35, of Brainerd, is now facing a dozen felony charges in connection with the crime spree including second-degree murder, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping, arson and assault.

Crow Wing County authorities issued an Amber Alert early Friday after a woman and her four children were abducted at gunpoint from a home northeast of Brainerd.
