A Minnetonka man has been criminally charged with solicitation, according to Wayzata city code 520.01. Terry Eugene Baier, 52, has been implicated in a scam where he allegedly deceived individuals, claiming his vehicle was in disrepair and soliciting money for cab fare.
The crime alert was issued by the Wayzata Police Department to caution residents about this fraudulent activity. A vigilant citizen, prompted by the alert, reported a similar incident to the police, leading to the charges against Mr. Baier.
It’s essential to note that the criminal charges do not guarantee an end to Mr. Baier’s alleged illegal activities, as he has been reportedly active in such schemes over the past several months.
Chief Mike Risvold encourages Wayzata residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the Wayzata Police Department.
