MOTORCYCLES RETURN TO THE ROADS
Rising temperatures mean many things in Minnesota: Flowers blooming, birds singing, and
motorcycles returning to our roads. And after a long winter off, spring and early summer
mean more motorcycle accidents.
Several factors contribute to this annual uptick: Overall increased motorcycle traffic, along
with other motorists’ inattention; new, inexperienced riders and riders whose skills have
gotten rusty in the off-season; road hazards and debris, such as deer and wildlife or gravel
from winter road treatments; unpredictable spring weather; and speed and risk-taking
because of general enthusiasm.
To help riders stay safe, the Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers these tips:
Be visible, with bright clothing and headlight on day and night.
Assume drivers can’t see you, adopting a defensive mindset on the road.
Gear up, every time: For best protection, full-face helmet and clothing made for riding.
Proactively assess potential road hazards to avoid them rather than react to them.
Check your bike before every ride, from oil and battery to lights and brakes.
Other motorists also have a responsibility to be vigilant, taking time to look for motorcycles
in blind spots before changing lanes or at intersections before turning, as well as keeping a
safe distance when following a bike. Understanding Minnesota’s relatively new law allowing
lane splitting and lane filtering is also critical; for more information, check out this PDF.
With everyone doing their part, here’s to a safe and enjoyable summer on the road.

WC26020504 FIRE
At 3:28pm on May 2, a deputy helped Scandia Fire Department on locating 30 bales
of hay and an old vehicle that had caught fire after a homeowner lost control of a fire
pit. The deputy gathered information and conducted traffic control. A Minnesota
DNR fire officer advised they would handle enforcement action with the homeowner.

Change is the one constant of life, and that saying certainly holds true at the Sheriff’s Office, where in
late May I was proud to lead the second Oath of Office ceremony of 2026. These seven new deputies,
who successfully completed all four phases of field training, bring a fresh sense of team unity,
connection to their community and commitment to their future with Washington County. In this group
we noted many two’s: Two grew up right here in Washington County, two are in the Army National
Guard, two went to Minnesota State University-Mankato, two went to Rasmussen University, two went
to Hennepin Tech, one just had their second child, and one has twin boys.
Please welcome (L to R) deputies Lauren Rowe, Kendrah Beranek, Paul Ouellette, Megan Lisowy, Lukas
Blomquist, Reed Vandewalker and Anvaar Wilson. We thank you for your commitment to service and
to doing the right thing as you proudly wear the Sheriff’s Office uniform.

WC26021971 ORDER VIOLATION
At 7:46am on May 11, deputies responded to a report of a violation of an order
for protection actively occurring, with the suspect attempting to get into the home
despite being prohibited from being anywhere on the property. While enroute,
deputies learned the suspect also had a misdemeanor warrant from Washington
County for a previous order violation. After arriving, deputies began checking the
area from the house to a pole barn, where they found the suspect. The suspect was
cooperative as the deputies told him he was under arrest and took him into custody.
