New details are emerging about the attempted intruder with a known history to law enforcement who was arrested right outside UnitedHealthcare’s headquarters in Minnetonka earlier today.

The Brief

    • Ian Wagner, accused of making a threat against the UnitedHealthcare campus on Monday, was due in court Tuesday facing charges in three other cases, including a probation violation in a past threats of violence case.
    • Wagner, of Hopkins, faces felony charges of threats of violence and illegal firearm possession after a standoff with authorities near the United Healthcare campus in Minnetonka.
    • A search of Wagner’s vehicle following its resolution found a .38 caliber revolver with five rounds of live ammunition in the cylinder, and a baggie containing 16 additional rounds — both on the front passenger seat, charges say.

MINNETONKA, Minn. (FOX 9) - The man arrested by Minnetonka police on Monday, after he reportedly made "threats of violence" at the United Healthcare campus in Minnetonka was due in court on Tuesday for other charges unrelated to the incident.

Suspect accused of threats against UnitedHealthcare

What we know:

FBI Minneapolis tells FOX 9 the suspect sparked a scare at the UnitedHealthcare campus and a standoff in a nearby parking lot on Monday.

Agents say the man contacted the FBI Minneapolis Field Office around 10:45 a.m. Monday and made threats against the United Healthcare facility if "specific demands were not met."

FBI agents say there's no evidence the man had any "specific grievances against United Healthcare."

Timeline:

The call sparked a large police response near the UnitedHealthcare campus and eventually a standoff with the suspect at a neighboring property. The FBI was able to contact the man via a phone call and negotiate a safe ending to the situation. 

Agents say the man peacefully surrendered about 50 minutes after the police response.

What they're saying:

The FBI credited a quick response by agents and local police in Minnetonka for bringing a safe ending to the situation.

"This swift and peaceful resolution underscores the strength of partnership between law enforcement," agents wrote. "The investigation remains active and there is no further information available at this time."

Suspect in court

What's next:

Wagner is being held in Hennepin County Jail on warrants in three other cases.

He was charged via warrant on April 1 with violating a harassment restraining order. The details of those cases weren't available in the online court record.

He also faces a probation violation related to a threats of violence case from last year.
