ALDERMAN BRIAN CROWDER NOT GUILTY

Verdict is not guilty on all three counts.  They had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CHARGE HIM ON.  Nada....ZIP....NOTHING FOLKS. This has to be one of the most sloppy, careless, shipshod jobs of policing I have  ever seen.  In my opinion, an embarrassment to law enforcement. Morrison County could not even play the audio of the 911 call made by Brian. Morrison County prosecutor, Todd Kosovich, actually forgot his clients name during yesterdays afternoon session!  Now what does that tell you about this local court system? Morrison County attorney Brian Middendorf snuck out the back door looking angry and defeated as he looked down at floor heading back to his office.  Imagine that.  He makes the public claim that Alderman Crowder is guilty BEFORE  Alderman Crowder had even had his first court appearance.  Shame on Brian Middendorf and the LITTLE FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT officers involved; Chief Greg Schirmers, Captain Kyle Johnson and Officer Dave Stevenson.  Shame on them all.
