This makes me very angry. Evidently, the anti-veteran sentiment is alive and well in rural Fillmore County of Southeast Minnesota. Seriously… you spray-painted graffiti ON a horse? A living thing? And not only was this moron evidently anti-veteran, he (or she) was also anti-women. Dear God, what are we coming to?
Press Release from Sheriff Tom Kaase:
On Thursday May 31, at approximately 1:17 AM, the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Emergency Communications Center (911) received a report of criminal damage to property in the 14000 block of 171st Ave., in section 7 of the York Township, in Fillmore County. The home owner was alerted by a driveway sensor that someone was in the area of his residence at about 11:30 PM. He went outside to see who was there and didn’t find anyone. He began looking around his property and found serious vandalism. He found vulgar, disparaging remarks spray painted on his building, a horse trailer, and also on a horse located on his property. Some of the disparaging messages were against our veterans. There were also disparaging remarks made against women. The property owner and victim is a veteran of the United States Air Force. In addition to the spray painted vandalism, the victim’s United States Flag flown in his yard was stolen. A horse also received a minor injury and it is unknown if that was self-inflicted or caused by the suspect(s). The Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office is investigating this crime and asks anyone with any possible information to please contact our office at 507-765-3874. People with information may remain anonymous.
Thank you.
Sheriff Tom Kaase
