PLAINVIEW, Minn. – The student behavior led to cancellation of the Plainview High School homecoming parade last weekend may involve criminality, Police Chief Jason Timm said. In an interview with Minnesota Public Radio, Timm said: “We received information that we don’t feel is limited to just a conduct issue. It’s more potentially on the criminal level as far as assault.” Police are interviewing witnesses and suspects and so forth to find out exactly what happened, so it can be evaluated if it needs to be forwarded to the county attorney for review, the chef said “We don’t have evidence of sexual assault,” Timm said. “Assault means being tied up. We are investigating if he was physically harmed. Verbal threats would fall under the assault aspect.” Timm said there appears to be one victim and with multiple perpetrators.
