Overview
- State documents confirm Dylan Adams served an unpaid one-day suspension on Jan. 22, 2026 and remains employed by Minnesota’s Department of Human Services.
- The DHS investigative report says there was insufficient evidence he damaged vehicles while on duty, though timecards show he was logged in for full workdays during some incidents.
- Investigators reported Adams told them he was on a break or out sick during certain vandalism episodes, creating a factual dispute central to workplace accountability.
- Adams admitted to keying six Teslas in Minneapolis in March 2025, with reported damage totaling about $20,000 to $21,000, and cited opposition to Elon Musk as his motive.
- Video from a Tesla camera captured an incident on March 24, 2025 at 2:09 p.m., and Minneapolis’ police chief and some legislators criticized the lack of criminal charges and limited discipline.
