Security Officer Injured in Minot Pharmacy Burglary
MINOT, N.D. July 19 2018 Police say a private security officer was injured during an early morning burglary at a Minot pharmacy.
Officers responded to Keycare Pharmacy about 1 a.m. Wednesday and witnessed a man fighting with the security officer inside. They called in a SWAT team when the suspect fled further into the building.
The man got out of the building before the SWAT team arrived but was eventually tracked down and arrested on several charges including burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Twenty-year-old Trek Bender made his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon. He could enter a plea during an Aug. 23 hearing. Court documents indicate he’s representing himself, and a home telephone listing for him couldn’t be found.
Both Bender and the security officer were treated at a hospital for unspecified injuries.
