A Minnesota Senator hailing from Grand Rapids, identified as Justin Eichorn, 40, found himself in legal trouble following an arrest for allegedly soliciting a minor with intents of engaging in prostitution. On March 17, authorities in Bloomington apprehended Eichorn after they intercepted online communications between him and an individual he believed to be a 16-year-old girl.

The arrest operation culminated when a detective coordinated a meeting with Eichorn near the 8300 block of Normandale Boulevard in Bloomington. Upon his arrival in the designated area driving a pickup truck, Eichorn was taken into custody and subsequently booked into jail.
