Walz Staffer Walks Free After Causing $20K in Tesla Vandalism

A Minnesota state employee who admitted to vandalizing at least six Teslas, causing over $20,000 in damages, is walking free thanks to a Democrat prosecutor who refused to bring criminal charges despite clear video evidence and multiple victims.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the Minnesota Department of Human Services, was caught on surveillance cameras keying Teslas in the Minneapolis area. In one case, a vehicle owner said Adams appeared to be trying to carve a swastika into the car’s surface.

Instead of facing felony charges, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty a progressive activist-turned-prosecutor opted for a “pre-charge diversion” program that allows Adams to avoid a criminal record altogether.

• Police identified and arrested Adams after a pattern of vandalism hit high-end vehicles across the city.

• Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara called out the county attorney directly, saying, “Any frustration... should be directed solely at her office.”

• Hennepin County’s own spokesperson said diversion was necessary so Adams could “keep his job” and pay restitution.

Let that sink in: a state worker destroys private property, attempts to carve a hate symbol, admits guilt and walks away without a single criminal charge, because the county wants to make sure he can keep his government job.

This is what happens when Democrats run the justice system: criminals are coddled, victims are ignored, and bureaucrats protect their own.

Mary Moriarty, who took over as county attorney in 2023, ran on a platform of reducing prosecution and “rethinking” public safety. Since taking office, she's gained a reputation for soft-on-crime policies, demoralizing staff, and fueling a culture of leniency that puts citizens at risk.

• A former longtime attorney in her office says “morale is horrible” and staff are “afraid to talk.”

• Adams, still employed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, is “under review” but has faced no public disciplinary action.

The message is loud and clear: if you’re connected to the Democrat political machine in Minnesota, you’re not held to the same standard as the rest of us.

This isn’t justice. It’s institutional rot, and it starts at the top with Governor Tim Walz’s administration which, so far, has stayed completely silent about one of its employees vandalizing cars and evading accountability.

This is the two-tiered justice system in action. If the roles were reversed and a conservative staffer had been caught doing the same, they’d be plastered across national headlines and facing hate crime charges.
