Suspects Caught

From the KSTP HSOforum

Sheriff's deputies now have two suspects in custody for the torching of a man's specially equipped fish house, on south Chisago Lake.

One of the suspects is 19-years-old. The Sheriff says the suspects are also linked to several other crimes, including break-ins of nearby cabins and other fish houses.

Many 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS viewers responded to our story of John Fenner, who overcame three strokes and paralysis. His family bought him a specially equipped fish house because of his love of ice fishing. The house was valued at well over $4,000. However, last week, vandals burned that fish house to the ground.

In response to the crime, Ice Castle Fish Houses gave Fenner a deluxe, brand-new fish house.

"We just thought, 'Wow!' Let's give him one," says Jeff Drexler, the owner of Ice Castle Fish Houses.

"I'm lost for words," said Fenner after receiving the gift.

Well Good, and may I be the first to volunteer to give them each a good bootslapping.

Iam glad I will not be the Judge on this one as he wouldnt have a chance to upset anyone for a long time,and would be working to repay every red cent,plus.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I know the Chisago Co judge quite well.. very good friend of mine. I'll make sure to stick in a few good words for these boys.. LOL

[Northlander]

Just remember innocent til proven guilty means that these guys may never go to jail or pay back anything. Unless they confess its going to be a hard one to get them on. especially if 1 was a kid. Seeing any money from either is also a slim chance but I hope they find someone guilty and take some of their wages, if they have ANY.

KSTP reported tonight that one was a 19 year old and the other being 22 years old. They found stolen property in their possession from the cabins and ice houses they vandelized in Mn and Wisc.

Should be a done deal.

Hey Fisky, maybe we can get the authorities to send them up your way so you can take them out ice fishing then tell them the walk back is through Morris Gap. LOL

Maybe they should make these two (Contact US Regarding This Word) give back what they took away, for instance maybe they could be Jons helpers for a year, they could move his fish house, cut the holes, even bait his hooks and take his fish off then that way they could see just what sort of struggles everyone faces in real life.

I can't believe these two knuckleheads don't have anything better to do. Glad to hear they caught them.

[Bass_Bully]

Great news...throw the hammer at em!!

[pathogen]

Get a rope.

(figuratively speaking....of course.....)

[Rick]

Did anyone catch there names and where they are from?

[Fishn'Lady]

Phillip Baur and Jason Rayburn of Chisago County. Two more are possibly going to be charged as well.

And that walk would be barefooted too!!!

[Whopper Stopper]

When asked why they did it they said "because it was the nicest fish house out there".

Start warming up the Tar.

I realize the perps are legally adults, but where are their parents?

These boys need good male role models more than another butt-kicking session.

[BUSHWAC]

Pathagen- Right on, that’s exactly what I was thinking when I went to page two!!

[Northlander]

Chef everyone can use a role model but what these guys need is a very firm consequence! Mommy and Daddy must not have done much with these guys as far as values and being young adults they need to learn a lesson not be pampered with a "Big Brother" or something.

I like the idea of a court order saying these guys need to put in 20 hours a week or so helping this guy out with whatever fishing related needs he may have. They can carry him inand out of the house and pay for bait, food etc.

[eyepatrol]

I'd say jail time except let them out every other day to drill 200 holes each in an attempt to find the fish for Jon! Make them work to his benefit, then go back to the cell to think about what they did.

[Eiger0304]

Bassctcher, great idea. How about drilling all the holes for the Forest Lake tourney and skim the holes too!!

[Fishook]

I am sure Jon and his family have some large medical bills. I would like to see the guilty parties do some sort of paid work. The money they earn could be used to offset medical expenses.

[nofishfisherman]

I hope you guys are talking about using a dull hand auger as well.

[hoggs222]

Butter knife would be better.

[Sifty]

Good to hear that they caught them. So often these things never get solved.

I'll clarify my initial statement. I agree they need punishment for their actions, but do you get the most out of your Dog after you beat him again and again? No, he doesn't trust you--he's more likely to bite you than comply with you--maybe he'll run away or just become an angry animal no one wants around. Whose fault is that?

I think the boys should pay for everything they destroyed and perform 100 hours of service each-like picking up all trash slobs leave on the ice every day.

I doubt that Jon wants to look at these guys or spend his time fishing with them, unless he thinks that's the best thing to do for the boys sake.

Maybe the thing these young men need is to spend some time with good role models. Maybe you don't have the time to do it and that's okay.
