WINONA, Minn. – Police booked a West End man after a report that he had threatened to shoot the heads off a pair of neighbors. Keith Gerard Devorak, 64, made the threat on his front porch while pointing a long gun at them, the neighbors told police. No shots were fired. This was about 2:40 p.m. on the 50 block of Lenox Street. When police arrived, Devorak denied some particulars from the neighbors’ account and said the weapon was merely an air gun, which he then showed to the officers. He was booked for domestic assault and brandishing a dangerous weapon. The neighbors, two men, age 48 and 43, said they had knocked at Devorak’s door to object to derogatory letters and stickers he had plastered on their front door. They showed videos to the officers.
