A Sebeka woman was charged with third-degree burglary for entering a storage unit she had been locked out of to retrieve some of her items.
According to Wadena County District Court records, Janet Darlene Burgau, 49, had fallen behind on her rent payments on the storage unit to the tune of $1,500 and was subsequently locked out of the unit in April 2009 in accordance with the default clause in her lease. That clause called for the forfeiture of the items in the unit until the back rent payments were caught up.
The owner of the unit had put padlocks to keep everyone out, but in early July, Burgau and three other women allegedly used bolt cutters to remove those locks, retrieve some stereo speakers and other items from the storage unit, and put new locks on.
Burgau was charged Oct. 15 with third-degree burglary. Her first appearance in the case was scheduled for Nov. 16.

Could the Editor do a story on repeat offenders who are out on Bail or Bond even released without bail. Speak with the City and County Attorney's and even the Judge's of Wadena County, on how the Public is supposedly being kept safe with criminals that are being released. Its easy revoke the bail/bond that was posted and make a gigantic increase for the current charge along previous charge. Get some of this cash back into Wadena County, they have proven that they are not law abiding citizens. We read about the same people over and over getting arrested someone help us.Report a Violation
