I got this from the Bemidji Pioneer. I am curious who was the tresspasser here. I am just thinking out loud here but if someone is trying to pull down my stand with me in it.......I assume I am carrying a gun.....?


Kevin Thomas McCormick, 51 of Breezy Point, has been charged in Clearwater County District Court with felony first-degree assault and hunter harassment.

According to a report from Clearwater County Attorney Jeanine Brand:

At about 10:45 p.m. Nov. 6, law enforcement officers responded to a report of a trespasser on property located near the Height-of-Land Road in Clearwater County. Law enforcement officers found neither the reporter nor the trespasser on the scene.

At about 6 a.m. Nov. 7, the Mahnomen County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 emergency call from Pinehurst near Naytahwaush requesting an ambulance for a man with back injuries. Jerry Donald Benedict, was taken to the Mahnomen Health Center and then airlifted to Fargo, N.D., because of the severity of injuries.

McCormick was arrested and arraigned Nov. 8. Bail was set at $10,000 without conditions or $500 cash with conditions. The complaint states that McCormick pulled down a deer stand while Benedict was still occupying it.

On Wednesday, Nov. 24, Benedict died at the hospital from internal injuries.

Investigation by the White Earth Police Department and Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office continues. Brand said she will review the possibility of additional charges after reviewing the medical report.

Guess we'll have to wait and hear.

Cause it don't say if it was private property or state property. Or, who's stand it is or was...

Confusing? Was this guy laying on the ground since the initial trespasss report?

Not sure. Was the deceased the trespasser? Still kind of sick that it has come to this kind of behavior....?
