Trailer home dumped in Pine County
The Pine County Sheriff’s Office said the trailer was dumped near Beroun Crossing Road and Sand Hill Crane Lane, just north of Pine City.
PINE COUNTY, Minn. — Eastern Minnesota authorities kindly request you come pick up your trailer home if you somehow lost it in rural Pine County.
A post on the Pine County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page Monday said the trailer was dumped near Beroun Crossing Road and Sand Hill Crane Lane, just north of Pine City. Later, an update revealed that the trailer’s owner had been identified, but so far, calls from the office have gone unanswered.
“We have located the owner of this trailer,” the post read. “We have tried to call them and there was no answer, but we did leave a message. We sure hope that they call back before we have to send our reports to the County Attorney for possible charges.”
At this point, it’s unclear what those charges could be, but what is clear, is that someone really didn’t want to deal with this mobile home.
The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information to contact them at 320-629-8380.
