Authorities Seeking Culprit Behind Park Damage

By Beth Milligan | Sept. 18, 2019

The Leelanau County Sheriff's Office is investigating a malicious destruction of property complaint at Joe Vlack Park in Solon Township.

A deputy on patrol Monday noticed the damage at the park off County Road 651 and notified township officials. The exact timeframe from when the damage was done is unknown, but was likely "several days (ago) at least," according to the Leelanau County Sheriff's Office. An individual drove off the park roadway damaging the grass area, and also traveled down the embankment near the creek damaging areas there.

Anyone with information on the case or the individual responsible is asked to contact Deputy Dion at 231-256-8800.
