Vehicle damaged at dam

Published Thursday, August 21, 2008

A 21-year-old homeless man has reported vandalism to his vehicle while it was parked at Friberg Dam, located about 10 miles north of Fergus Falls.

According to a sheriff’s report, the man said an intoxicated swimmer allegedly stomped on his vehicle, cracked the windshield, ripped electrical components from the vehicle and urinated in the fuel tank sometime between 7 and 8 p.m. Tuesday. Several people witnessed the vandalism, but refused to contact law enforcement or testify regarding the incident, the complainant said.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.
