Fugitive Arrested for Stalking Burnsville Woman

A Minneapolis woman facing charges of making terroristic threats and stalking a Burnsville woman has been arrested on a warrant dating back to January.

Tatiana Oline Linge, 30, faces a felony count of making terroristic threats, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

She is also charged with stalking, a gross misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $3,000 fine, and violating an order for protection, a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

According to the complaint against Linge, Burnsville police spent four months last year making repeated visits to a home on 117th Street East on reports of harassing telephone calls.

Police say Linge had made repeated phone calls to the victim, that she was seen slashing the tires on her car and that she is suspected of starting the car on fire at one point.

Last Sept. 14, the victim sought and received a protection order against Linge, but because her whereabouts were unknown, she had to be served by publication rather than personally, according to the complaint.

The victim told police that she had received 22 phone calls from Linge between Oct. 15-20, 2010, 19 of them between Oct. 15-16, and that she was afraid of Linge and didn’t feel safe at home or at work.

The victim said she had answered one of two of Linge’s phone calls last Oct. 20, and that Linge threatened to “put a bullet in her head” and kidnap her daughter, the complaint says.

Linge also told the victim that she was watching her outside her place of employment and outside her home, according to the complaint.

A warrant for Linge’s arrest was issued Jan. 13, and she was arrested Monday by Hennepin County authorities.

She remains in the Dakota County Jail on a $20,000 bond. An omnibus hearing in her case is scheduled for July 11 in Dakota County District Court in Hastings.
