MORRIS — Divers in west-central Minnesota have recovered the body of a local police chief who went missing after his boat capsized in a Stevens County lake.

Rescuers recovered the body of 50-year-old Donald Heikkinen on Monday about 4 p.m. He was the police chief in nearby Hancock.

The sheriff’s office received a 911 call late Sunday night reporting that a boat had capsized on Long Lake. A KARE-TV report says six people were on board but only five made it back to shore.

Sheriff Randy Willis tells The Associated Press it’s too early to know whether alcohol was a factor. He says the body was being sent to Ramsey County for an autopsy.

Long Lake is about eight miles east of Morris in Stevens County.

Minn. trooper who shot, killed motorist is named

ST. PAUL — The Minnesota State Patrol has identified the trooper who shot and killed a motorist after she dragged him with her vehicle.

State Patrol Lt. Col. Matt Langer said Monday the trooper was David Kalinoff. Langer says Kalinoff has been with the agency for 12 years.

Kalinoff stopped the vehicle of Debra Doree on Saturday. Authorities say Kalinoff noticed what appeared to be drugs in her car, and as he was checking it out the 48-year-old Landfall woman tried to speed off.

Langer says Kalinoff’s arm got entangled in Doree’s steering wheel, and he was dragged about 200 feet before he shot her.

Kalinoff suffered minor injuries to his wrist, arm and knees. He has been put on leave while the incident is investigated.

Descendant donates Minn. chief’s peace pipe

SLEEPY EYE — A descendant of Chief Sleepy Eye donated a peace pipe that once belonged to her ancestor, ensuring the pipe will always remain in the Minnesota city that adopted the chief’s name.

Karyn Douglas Cissell, of Palm Desert, Calif. is the seventh-generation grandchild of Chief Sleepy Eye. As his last descendant, she said she decided the sacred pipe belonged in the town of Sleepy Eye.

“It’s been very special and we’ve been very honored to have the pipe in our family,” she said Saturday. “But the pipe wanted to be here.”

Chief Sleepy Eye, or Ish-Tak-Ha-Ba as he was known in his Dakota band, lived from about 1780 to 1860. He wasn’t a hereditary chief but was commissioned by the Bureau of Indian Affairs because of his friendly relationships with traders and settlers.

Known for promoting peace with white settlers, Chief Sleepy Eye signed four treaties in his lifetime and also met with President James Monroe in 1824.
