Stewart resident Delvin Bethke has been contending with a corrupt small town for many decades. He says he has been heavily retaliated against by city officials for whistleblowing on city corruption.
Bethke says the harassment includes (but is not limited to):
- Police calls for cooking wieners,
- Citations for making "Pray for my City" signs,
- The city has tried to take his land,
- The city shut off water twice,
- The city failed to install requested utilities,
- The city's botched storm sewer flooded his property
- Bethke says McLeod County deputy Ken Reynolds shot his horse -- yet was acquitted.
Delvin's tires have also been slashed five times. A city official is suspected in these crimes.
