WARROAD, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – After an extensive investigation spanning over a year, the Warroad Police Department has apprehended a suspect believed to be responsible for the nail scattering incidents plaguing Hallberg Street. Here’s the unfolding story:
- Arrest Made: Travis Howard Thompson faces charges of property damage in Roseau County Court following his arrest by Warroad authorities.
- Pattern Uncovered: Multiple residents reported flat and damaged tires due to strategically placed roofing nails on Hallberg Street. These incidents occurred at least seven times between 6th Avenue and Dale Avenue, sparking a lengthy investigation.
- Surveillance Footage: Surveillance cameras captured a white SUV, consistent with Thompson’s vehicle, driving along Hallberg Street on the day of the nail scattering. This crucial evidence linked Thompson to the scene of the incidents.
