Kandiyohi County Attorney Shane Baker has dropped all 24 state drug and weapons charges against 46-year-old Chad Monson of Willmar — that because Monson now faces 18 weapons charges in *federal* court. Earlier this year, a SWAT team raided Monson’s home and seized dozens of weapons including machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, silencers, grenade launchers and drugs. Three weeks later they raided his place of business and found more weapons, drugs and pipe bombs. Court records indicate witnesses said Monson told them he planned to use the explosives against a judge and some attorneys.
