WARROAD GIRLS HEAD HOCKEY COACH DAVID MARVIN HAS FILED A CIVIL DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST SIX INDIVIDUALS CLAIMING THEIR “BASELESS ALLEGATIONS” WERE DESIGNED TO DAMAGE HIS REPUTATION. HE SEEKS MONETARY DAMAGES FROM THOSE STATEMENTS, ONLINE POSTS AND COMMENTS. THE SUIT NAMES SHANA LANCTOT, MATT LANCTOT, PATTI JOHNSON, JEFF JOHNSON, COREEN LINDQUIST AND KIRSTEN JOHNSON AS DEFENDANTS. THE WARROAD DISTRICT DID AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION THAT CLEARED MARVIN, ALTHOUGH HIS VOLUNTEER ASSISTANT COACH AND DAUGHTER WAS SUSPENDED FROM BEING ALLOWED ON OVERNIGHT TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM FOR FINDING VIOLATIONS OF THEIR DRUG OR ALCOHOL POLICY. MARVIN HAS BEEN THE WARROAD COACH FOR 18 YEARS.
MERANDA KAE LINDGREN HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 23 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR ARSON. THE 34-YEAR OLD WOMAN FROM THIEF RIVER FALLS HAD PREVIOUSLY ENTERED AN ALFORD PLEA. FIRST RESPONDERS WERE DISPATCHED TO HER RESIDENCE IN AUGUST OF 2022 FOR A FIRE. EVENTUALLY EVIDENCE OF AN ACCELLERENT WAS FOUND IN THE BEDROOM WHERE THE FIRE STARTED.
IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO LOST, OR FORGOT ABOUT YOUR MINNESOTA ISSUED REBATE CHECK FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE STATE IS PREPARED TO ISSUE ABOUT 150,000 REPLACEMENTS. SOME MAY HAVE VIEWED THE CHECKS AS JUNK MAIL AND ARE NOW BEING REMINDED TO LOOK FOR PLAIN WHITE ENVELOPES THAT WOULD HAVE A RETURN ADDRESS FOR SUBMITTABLE HOLDINGS IN MISSOULA, MONTANA.
