The Roundabout

Thursday, October 23, 2025

Welcome to your weekly Roundabout.

This week we’re following a serious story as a Woodbury resident and former St. Paul Police Department employee was charged with felony drug possession and firearms violations.

We’re also tracking local infrastructure, with Woodbury’s street sweepers gearing up for their October roll-out, and the arts scene, spotlighting the upcoming Jeopardy-style fundraiser from Open Door Community Theatre.

By the way: expect cooler, crisp fall days ahead, and unlike past years, there’s a growing signal from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and meteorologists that Minnesota could see a colder and snowier winter. So go ahead: enjoy the sunshine, soak up the sweater-weather temps while they last.

Woodbury Man, A Former St. Paul Police Employee, Faces Drug Charges

by Theo Franz

A Woodbury resident and St. Paul Police Department employee faces felony drug charges after authorities reported recovering firearms and large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl from his home last week.

Jamond Leroy Glass, 34, was charged Oct. 13 in Washington County District Court with one count of first-degree possession of 50 grams or more of cocaine or methamphetamine.

According to the criminal complaint, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport police intercepted a package Oct. 10 containing a large amount of suspected methamphetamine addressed to “Kay Wilson” at a Cobble Hill Court address in Woodbury.
