Tong's Case Dismissed in Kandiyohi County Court
The State of Minnesota versus L G Tong ended with dismissal after the prosecution rested its case due to fatal variance between proof and indictment. Gust Erickson testified clearly about receiving a $31.25 check misallocated to Tong, who then shared proceeds. the defense argued the indictment failed to specify the offense. The judge postponed ruling earlier and ultimately ordered dismissal while signaling potential further action by the Kandiyohi County Attorney.
