A St. Francis woman says an Anoka County commissioner harassed her repeatedly after she raised concerns about a message he posted on Facebook as the insurrection by supporters of former President Donald Trump unfolded at the U.S. Capitol.
Danylle Peardon, 44, said her concern about the post quickly shifted to concerns for her safety. She filed a police report Jan. 12 after Commissioner Matt Look sent her a series of text messages in which he claimed to be someone else and suggested he knew where she lives.
In an interview, Look denied that he harassed Peardon and said that she in fact harassed him by alerting other commissioners of their interaction. He described her complaint as a fake police report.
