Hey! Lake Crystal, Minnesota made the news!
A 42-year-old Lake Crystal man led sheriff’s deputies on a goose chase. His getaway vehicle: a 5-horsepower mini-motorcycle.
A call came in reporting that Douglas Lee Menne had wiped out at a downtown intersection. Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Wersal responded, suspecting it was a case of drunk driving.
By the time the deputy arrived at the intersection, Menne had recovered and driven off. After locating him, Wersal tried to get Menne to pull over. The bike had no tail light or license plate.
To all my loyal Minnesota readers, any of you know this clown?
Why do you think I left Minnesota? I don’t want to know clowns like that. lol
Ok, technically shouldn’t the title of this post be, “Lake Crystal, Home of ONE SPECIFIC MORON!!! ?
The rest of us are sitting here peacefully on the front porch, watching cars (and mini-motorcycles) drive by and enjoying the fact that NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE, until of course one moron has to ruin it for everyone.
(Actually the excitement is a welcome change)
You and Fred have the advantage that you can wake up in the metro. each day and pick from any number of murders, rapes, car-jacking incidents, etc. to read about in your paper but we have to stand firmly behind our one lone moron and thank him for giving us something to talk about.
Love from Lake Crystal,

This from someone who lives in a city where its okay to walk down the street in the downtown area, wearing nothing but a barrell!
Arlington has an event like that virtually every day. Except take out the mini-bike and replace it with a golf cart or possibly a rascal.
And instead of 42 year old man, make it a 97 year old man.
Not only would it not make the paper, the deputy wouldn’t even bother to get our of bed.
