Released Convict From Karlstad Now A Wanted Fugitive

Joshua Hendrickson was released from the St. Cloud prison last year after serving about 18 years for a fatal stabbing

KARLSTAD, MN — Minnesota corrections officials say a convicted killer released from prison is a fugitive.

The Department of Corrections says 40-year-old Joshua Hendrickson of Karlstad was released from the St. Cloud prison last year after serving about 18 years for fatally stabbing Christopher Nelson and injuring a second man.

The stabbings happened at a house party in Halma in 1999.

The agency says Hendrickson was placed on supervised release after he got out of prison and has been a fugitive since last week.

They did not release details on why they consider him a fugitive.
