Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara expresses department’s frustration with decision
Minnesota Department of Human Services data analyst Dylan Bryan Adams will likely not face charges for allegedly vandalizing at least six Tesla vehicles, causing a total of $20,000 in damages.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) said it would seek “diversion” over charges.
“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable. As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals,” HCAO spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping said, according to Fox 9 Minneapolis. However, he also reportedly said that criminal consequences would be on the table “should unlawful behavior continue.”
Pre-charge diversion allows individuals accused of committing crimes to avoid prosecution by participating in a program.
Minneapolis police are allegedly unhappy with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office’s decision not to seek criminal charges in this case.
Perfect. This just gives those thinking of vandalizing teslas more reason to not worry if they get caught. I do not understand why america is promoting crime and criminals.
There are diversion tracks in Delaware, and probably Maryland and Virginia. It’s not unusual. While I believe that in this case someone needs to be held accountable, so that this nonsense will stop, I can see the other side that he be given the opportunity should this be his first instance breaking the law. It’s obvious he needs mental health treatment if he thought it was ok to do what he was doing. So, he will be assessed to see what type of program will best suit his needs. If he doesn’t complete the program then he will have to enter into a plea that will go on his record.
