Casey William Kroll, 42, of Fargo has been charged in Becker County District Court with felony first-degree damage to property, felony theft and felony possession of burglary tools

According to court records, at 2:25 a.m. on Jan. 18, Detroit Lakes police officers found Kroll in the fenced area behind R&G Subaru in Detroit Lakes. He had a DeWalt Sawzall underneath a vehicle that he was hiding near.

An officer looked under the vehicle and noticed one end of a pipe on a catalytic converter had been cut. Kroll was arrested and taken to jail.

Footprints led officers to a duffel bag that contained tools and a large spool of coated copper wire.

Footprints also led officers to an enclosed trailer. The back end was open, and the trailer contained large spools of copper wire similar to the type found in the duffel bag. The enclosed trailer's aluminum latch had been cut in half.

The total amount of stolen parts recovered exceeded $2,000 and included items such as concrete vibrator, torch, carjack, and wrench.

An R&G Subaru employee said the total damages to two vehicles and the enclosed trailer was over $8,000.

On Jan. 19, cash bail for Kroll was set at $500 or bond at $5,000, under standard conditions of release, or $15,000 bond with no conditions. On Jan. 27, he was released on $500 cash bond.

An advertisement on the "Detroit Lakes Dispensary" account showed multiple watermelon-shaped gummy candies with the caption, "Lsd watermelon gummies double dosed $20 each."
