Something doesn’t sit right with this story—and folks across Minnesota are feeling it.
This week, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty made a head-scratching decision.
She chose not to file criminal charges against a man who vandalized at least six Teslas, causing over $20,000 in damage.
Meet Minnesota State employee Dylan Bryan Adams. He was reportedly arrested for allegedly causing over $20,000 in damages to Teslas in Minneapolis after he vandalized them.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has decided NOT to file criminal charges.

The accused, 33-year-old Dylan Bryan Adams, is a Minnesota state employee. But instead of facing a judge, he’s been given a free pass—well, almost.
Adams was placed into a “pre-charge diversion program.”
That means he’ll do some community service, pay restitution, and avoid prosecution altogether.
No criminal record. No trial. Just a quiet exit out the back door of the justice system.
Unsurprisingly, this has sparked real anger.
Think about it. You work hard, save up, buy a car—and someone smashes it up because of their personal or political grudge.
And then the prosecutor decides, “Eh, let’s go easy on him.”
That’s not justice. That’s a joke.
Now, Moriarty’s office defends the decision. They say this is a “first-time, low-level offense” and the program ensures the victims are repaid without wrecking the offender’s future.
Sounds nice in theory. In practice? It feels more like favoritism.
And here’s the kicker—this isn’t an isolated incident.
Moriarty has been under fire since Day One. Literally.
In her very first week as county attorney back in 2023, she dropped rape charges against a 35-year-old man accused of assaulting a teenage girl.
Her reason? Alleged attorney misconduct.
That decision sparked outrage—and the pattern hasn’t changed since.
Critics say she’s part of a larger trend of progressive prosecutors backed by left-wing mega-donors like George Soros.
They’re calling it “criminal justice reform,” but it looks a lot like turning a blind eye.
The results? More criminals walking free, and more everyday folks left to fend for themselves.
If someone had vandalized six other types of vehicles—or worked anywhere besides the state government—would they have gotten the same deal? Doubtful.
Adams, for the record, works as a fiscal policy analyst for the Minnesota Department of Human Services. That agency is “reviewing the matter,” but hasn’t taken any action as of this writing.
This story is just another nail in the coffin on the growing sense that the law only applies to some of us. Regular folks get hammered for even small mistakes.
If you’re politically connected, or part of the “right” crowd? You get leniency, sympathy, and a second chance.
That double standard has people fuming.
On social media, users are calling it “two-tiered justice.” Others have dubbed it “anarcho-tyranny”—where the government refuses to stop actual criminals, but still cracks down on law-abiding citizens for minor missteps.
And while that may sound dramatic, it’s hard to argue when you see stories like this play out again and again.
Of course, Moriarty’s supporters say the goal is fairness. They argue that traditional prosecution often ruins lives over non-violent offenses.
But there’s a big difference between mercy and ignoring the law. When someone purposefully causes tens of thousands in damage, that’s not a harmless mistake. That’s a serious crime.
Laws are supposed to protect all of us equally. That means holding everyone accountable—especially when they work for the government.
