ST. PAUL — A 30-year-old Woodbury man is charged with shooting another man on the outside patio of Tom Reid’s Hockey City Pub in St. Paul.

Patrick Timothy Juetten is charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting his former high school classmate in the chest Friday night.

The charges say Juetten was wearing a fake badge and posing as a police officer. According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press the victim told police Juetten suggested the two “rob drug dealers” together. But when the victim refused, Juetten shot him.

The complaint says Juetten told police he was drunk and gave his keys to a stranger, who took the gun from his car and shot the victim.

He’s been assigned a public defender. An after-hours message left with that office wasn’t immediately returned.
