Alleged Snowmobile Thief Nabbed Near Pine Island
Pine Island, MN (KROC-AM NEWS) - A Mazeppa man is being held at the Olmsted County jail on felony theft and drug charges following his arrest over the weekend for allegedly trying to steal a couple snowmobiles.
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Department received a call from a person living in a rural home adjacent to the Douglas Trail south of Pine Island around 3 AM Saturday. The person reported seeing a man hook up a trailer with two snowmobiles on it to a four wheeler and then drive away.
