Man Arrested After Domestic Violence Call Near Ten Mile Lake
A man was taken into custody after a reported assault by strangulation and a multiagency search near Ten Mile Lake Resort, officials said. The incident and search, which involved a drone and a K9 unit, underscores local law enforcement cooperation and raises concerns for residents and visitors to the county's lake communities.
A domestic violence report led to a search and arrest near Ten Mile Lake Resort in Otter Tail County after a 911 call just after 10 a.m. on November 12. Grant County deputies received the call reporting an assault by strangulation and that a man had left the scene and crashed his vehicle near the resort. Deputies from both Grant County and Otter Tail County responded to the area.
Responding officers received reports that a man had run out of the woods near the resort. Law enforcement employed a drone and a K9 unit in the search and later located the suspect vehicle in the resort campground. The suspect was taken into custody about one mile from the campground. The incident remains under investigation. Details from Grant and Otter Tail County law enforcement were provided to KFGO.
The episode is likely to cause concern among year round residents and visitors who use Ten Mile Lake Resort and its campground. Campground occupancy and day visitors make lake properties a significant part of local recreation, and incidents of violence near popular public access points can affect perceptions of safety. For small business owners and seasonal operators, even a short term dip in visitor confidence can have measurable effects on weekend revenues and local vendor activity.
The joint response highlights cooperation between neighboring county agencies and the increasing use of technology in rural policing. The deployment of a drone and a K9 unit reflects a trend toward integrating remote sensing and specialized assets into searches that once relied primarily on ground patrols. For policymakers and county officials, the case may prompt discussions about resource allocation for patrol coverage, victim services, and community awareness programs aimed at preventing domestic violence.
Because the matter is under investigation, law enforcement has not released additional details about charges or the suspect. Local residents seeking information are advised to follow official statements from the Grant County Sheriff and the Otter Tail County Sheriff as the investigation proceeds.
