Winsted-Lester Prairie Journal, June 22, 1998 Winsted-Lester Prairie Journal, June 22, 1998A $500 reward is offered for information leading to the
arrest of the owner/driver of a 1994 or newer light brown (light autumnwood
metallic) full-size Chevy or GMC 4-wheel-drive pickup that might have a
rollbar with lights mounted on it, and currently has moderate damage to
the left (driver's) front end.
The truck was traveling south on Highway 25 toward Watertown at 1 a.m. Sunday, June 14 when it crossed the centerline and was involved in a hit-and-run accident which destroyed an original, unrestored '57 Chevy Nomad.
This person is believed to be in the Watertown or Mound area, and will be found with your help.
"Do you want this person to keep doing this kind of stuff to innocent people?" the owner said. "Next time it could be you. Next time you might not live to offer a reward for information about the person who did this to you. Why let there be a next time? Once is too many times."
