Stolen Tow Truck Tuesday 1417 hours
Caller reported someone just stole their tow truck. The truck is a red 1996 Chevrolet one ton with no
markings. The caller also reported his boss was in a white BMW following the truck. The caller relayed
that there was a rusty Dodge Caravan traveling with the tow truck. When the Caravan figured out they
were being followed the Caravan turned off. Shortly after crossing the river on 1494, the tow truck was
stopped and the driver taken into custody without incident. The driver admitted he was being paid to
steal the tow truck. After being given an opportunity to discuss the situation, the man was transported
to the Dakota County jail. After review of the facts, the County Attorney charged the suspect that was

A regular customer called 911 to report he had been threatened by a man with a knife. The victim was
described as irate, rude, uncooperative and refusing to listen. Sergeant Neil Garlock and Investigators
Tanner Spicer & Mario Reyes responded to the call. Sgt Garlock found a steady customer who refers to
himself as "the most hated man in MH," in the middle of the street and quite animated. The
investigators spoke with the other half of the incident, who gave a completely different story (more in
matching with the caller's past history).
Smash and Grab Wednesday 0345 hours
MHPD had staked out a local business for hours late Tuesday and Wednesday based on a crime trend
reported out of the State Fusion Center. Unfortunately as soon as the Officers responded else where
the business was hit. Based on the very limited time the crooks were able to spend in the store, the
damage likely outweighed the loss of property.
