The Morrison County Sheriff’s Office reports that an adult male has been arrested and is in custody for the theft of a truck and an ATV from two separate residences in Pike Creek Township, west of Little Falls, MN.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, on 10-04-2016 at approximately 6:57 pm, their office took a theft report of a 2010 Polaris ATV from a shed at a residence west of Little Falls. Shortly after that, they also received a theft report of a 2-ton Chevy chipper truck from the same area.
