Otter Tail County may be close to getting another $100,000 toward the County Road 41 bridge at Star Lake near Dent destroyed by arson last September.
County Attorney Michelle Eldien told county commissioners at their Tuesday, Feb. 9, meeting that a judge had agreed to secure $100,000 belonging to the defendant in the case, pending the results of a criminal trial.
