A Dakota County sheriff's deputy allegedly caught two Minnesota lawmakers "making out" in a parked car last week, according to law enforcement reports and court records, but the lawmakers say that accusation is "completely false" and a "lie."
State Rep. Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing, and Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, were issued citations for causing a nuisance on Aug. 25.
The two, who are married to other people, were in Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan when they were allegedly spotted by the officer 'making out' in a parked car about 4:30 p.m., according to documents. The officer's notes claim Mack was half undressed when he approached the vehicle.
Kelly, 51, and Mack, 32, say none of that is true. Kelly said he had had simply met Mack to receive some documents when an officer approached their vehicle about a parking violation.
"When we met, a park ranger approached my vehicle and told me I was double-parked. I disputed his characterization and got out of the car to take a picture. He became visibly agitated and returned to his own car," Kelly said in a statement to the Pioneer Press. "Approximately ten minutes later, he returned to my vehicle with a parking ticket citing a nuisance. When I asked what that meant, he responded 'whatever I want it to mean.'" .......................
