Recollections



On May 18, at approximately midnight, Lew Arthur Schlief, 36, of rural Eagle Bend was arrested without incident in Breckenridge by Todd County deputies, K-9 Officer Terry Bandemer, K-9 Officer Don Burns and Undersheriff Roger Gates with assistance of the Breckenridge Police Department and Wilkin County Sheriff’s Department. Schlief was arrested at a private residence. Todd County authorities had been investigating and set up surveillance for approximately 48 hours prior to his arrest. A warrant for Schlief was issued by Todd County District Court on February 13 for failure to appear for sentencing after being found guilty by a jury on two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree.
