Chisago County, Minnesota (trfnews.i234.me) — We have an important update from the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office following the outrageous theft of a cherished veteran statue known as “Handsome Jean” from the Rush Point Store in Stanchfield.
Thanks to community tips and video evidence, the statue has been recovered and returned. One of the three suspects is now in custody, and the vehicle used in this felony is impounded.
But the Sheriff’s Office didn’t stop there.
In a bold public message, the department addressed the remaining suspects:
“We know who you are. We know your phone numbers. We know your criminal records. You can choose to walk into our lobby and speak to us calmly—or we’ll come to you. We promise.”
A heartfelt thank you was extended to the community for their help and to the veterans whose sacrifices inspired this community to stand up.
This is what small-town strength looks like.
