Here Are the Infuriating 'Consequences' for That Minnesota Employee Accused of Damaging Teslas

Last week, Dylan Bryan Adams, a 33-year-old who works for the Department of Human Services for the state of Minnesota (part of the Tim Walz regime), was arrested for allegedly damaging at least six Teslas.

The damage was significant, causing about $21,000 in damage, ranging from about $1,600 on one car to $10,370 on another, according to police. Video allegedly caught him in the act.

The Hennepin County DA Mary Moriarty will not pursue criminal charges against Dylan Adams, a 33-year-old Minneapolis man accused of vandalizing at least six Tesla vehicles.

So you would think that this might merit some significant charges.

But you would be mistaken. Turns out the Hennepin County Attorney's Office has decided that he won't face charges at this time. Instead, they will enter him into an adult diversion program. So if he doesn't do anything else and he satisfies whatever restitution requirements or community service they might set, that may be it.

It sounded like the police were not very happy about this at all.

In a statement provided Monday night, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara voiced frustration about Adams not being formally charged.
“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job,” O’Hara said. “It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.

Each act was a felony, according to the police.

While the Hennepin County Attorney has "discretion," the Hennepin County diversion guidelines refer to property crimes "less than $5,000." So it appears to be varying from that guideline. And of course, there's more here than a simple property crime, and you have multiple vehicles.

The Minnesota DHS said, “We are reviewing the matter at this time...State employees are expected to follow our code of conduct and hold themselves to the highest ethical standards through their words and actions.”

So it remains to be seen whether this will have any impact on his job. I'm not sure I'd bet on it, given the way the Country Attorney is proceeding.

Gov. Walz has made antagonistic comments against Tesla and Elon Musk, even celebrating when Tesla was going down in the stock market and encouraging people to demonize Musk. He was rooting against both American workers and a company that Minnesota pension funds had been invested in.

More than a little infuriating.

Editor's Note: Leftist domestic terrorists are fire-bombing Tesla dealerships and harassing owners across the country. They must face justice.
