WINONA, Minn. – A Winona man was arrested after police caught him trying to retrieve fishing lures from power lines over the Mississippi River with Fourth-of-July sparklers on a long stick. This was about 8 p.m. on Prairie Island at the spillway. There probably is a law regarding fishing lures, power lines and sparklers, but police instead booked James Allen Guenther, 53, for driving with a cancelled license. He had driven to the spillway.
Guenther. Imaginative for sure.
