Hennepin County, Minnesota — which encompasses the city of Minneapolis — has opted not to file criminal charges against an employee of Governor Tim Walz’s government after he allegedly caused more than $20,000 in damage targeting multiple Tesla vehicles. Criminal charges will not be forthcoming despite what appears to be overwhelming video evidence confirming the acts of political violence.

Dylan Bryan Adams, a 33-year-old Minneapolis resident who works as a fiscal policy analyst with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, was caught on video allegedly vandalizing six Tesla vehicles across Minneapolis back in March. Adams, who was walking his dog during the majority of the incidents, could be seen scraping paint off the vehicles with his car keys.

The suspect, believed to be Adams, was identified through Tesla’s on-vehicle sentry mode security system, which includes cameras covering every angle around the vehicle. The same dog was seen alongside the suspect in all of the videos, which helped authorities with identifying Adams.

Damage to the vehicles ranged between $1,600 to $10,370, totaling more than $21,000 in total damage overall, according to a report from the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Despite the massive damage, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has opted to file for Adams to enter into an adult diversion program designed for first-time offenders charged with low-level crimes. Prosecutors said their main goals are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Adams accountable, both of which can be achieved through the diversion program, the office believes.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara expressed disappointment with the decision to exempt Adams from what would have resulted in multiple felony charges.

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office,” O’Hara told local outlet KARE.

“Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”

In a statement to the New York Post, a spokesperson for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz attempted to downplay the incident by stating that Adams is one of 40,000 state employees. They also noted that Adams, who works in Minnesota’s Department of Human Services was not a political appointee.

The lack of charges comes just weeks after Governor Walz said it brought him great joy to see Tesla’s recent stock market troubles, which have come amidst wider market turbulence. “Some of you know this. On the iPhone, they’ve got that little stock app. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day — $225 and dropping,” the former vice presidential candidate said during a stop on his nationwide speaking tour last month.

“And if you own one, we’re not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off,” he added. Walz later attempted to walk back the remark after backlash, stating it was “just a joke.”
