Stearns County Sheriff: Suspicious Activity –
Abandoned Dead Cows
On Monday, November 23rd, the Stearns County Sheriff issued an alert
asking for the public’s help in regards to some specious activity in the
western part of the county.
On 11-16-2009 a call was received from the Raymond Twp Supervisor. He said
someone put a dead cow in the ditch on 330th street in Raymond Twp. The
sad thing is that this has been happening over the last couple of years.
We get calls from the people in the area in spring and fall that someone
is dropping dead cows in the ditch around this area. At one point I was
told 7 cows were found. This may also be occurring in Pope County.
Authorities do not have a vehicle description nor a suspect.
