The suspect, Gregory James Nelson, 37, Brainerd, was arrested without incident at the cabin and is being held in the Crow Wing County jail for second-degree assault.
Formal charges against Nelson are pending with the Crow Wing County attorney's office. The sheriff's department said additional charges may be pursued against another suspect.
