Officer Arik Matson returns to Waseca
WASECA, Minn. – The southern Minnesota city of Waseca has welcomed home a police officer who was critically wounded more than 10 months ago.
Hundreds of people lined the sidewalks to support Arik Matson, who walked along a line of fellow officers waiting under a giant “Welcome Home, Arik!” banner.
The 33-year-old was shot in the head Jan. 6 while responding to a report of a prowler. He had multiple surgeries and spent the last several months in a Nebraska rehabilitation facility.
Tyler Janovsky, who was wanted on drug charges, pleaded guilty to the shooting. He’ll be sentenced Nov. 6
