Father badly beaten after trying to protect daughter at Valleyfair

Six men remain in the Scott County jail following what police call a brutal assault on a father trying to protect his daughter.

Shakopee police say as the crowd was leaving Valleyfair Amusement Park around midnight on the 4th of July, the victim's daughter was confronted by two men.

"The 12-year-old daughter was either touched or slapped in the buttocks area," Scott County Attorney Patrick Ciliberto said. "The father confronted (the men) by yelling at them for what they had done to his daughter," he added.

Police say the two men called their friends, who were also in the park. The group of seven men and a juvenile then confronted the father.

"They beat him to the ground and then, the evidence that we have, when he was on the ground, they used their feet on him. They were kicking him in the face when he was down," Ciliberto said.

According to the criminal complaints, the men were stomping on the 41-year-old father as he lay on the ground, unconscious.

He suffered severe head injuries, including a fractured right orbital bone and possible subdural bleeding on the brain. "We don't know if there are permanent injuries yet," the County Attorney said.

Shakopee Police found the suspects in the parking lot. Seven of them were arrested and one man ran from the scene and police are still looking for him. Of the seven taken into custody, one was a 14-year-old.

The six adults charged and held in jail are Devondre Evans-Lewis, Andrew Shannon, Darris Evans, Terry Arnold, Derry Evans, and Anthony Gildersleeve.

The Scott County Attorney says several of the men have criminal histories and they are all from the Twin Cities metro area. They range in age from 18 to 22-years-old.

All six adults have been charged with 3rd degree felony assault causing substantial bodily harm.

This grabbed my attention

“According to the criminal complaints, the men were stomping on the 41-year-old father as he lay on the ground, unconscious.

He suffered severe head injuries, including a fractured right orbital bone and possible subdural bleeding on the brain. “We don’t know if there are permanent injuries yet,” the County Attorney said.”

and

“All six adults have been charged with 3rd degree felony assault causing substantial bodily harm.”

I don’t know much about criminal law, but I’d think kicking an unconscious victim to that extent would warrant an attempted murder charge.

Gee, I wonder what their ethnic background might be...

Are the victims white and the perps black? If that’s the case why can’t hate crimes be charged like they would be if the roles were reversed?

Man, those guys are in a lot of trouble. I bet at least 2 of them go to jail—at least 6 months....well maybe more like 4 months...at least 1 or 2 months...maybe.

Some folks here need to get a grip and ride the tolerance train. It's those youth's culture and they have a right to celebrate it.

personally, i’m irritated that the woman would stand there and watch.
she should’ve either jumped in and helped defend the daughter, or grabbed the girl and ran.
but just standing there is further endangering the child. after they were finished with daddy, they could have very easily gone after mommy and daughter.

If it were England they’d each be “strongly cautioned” since they didn’t use a deadly pointy knife. /s

Actually, it’s probably not sarcasm, just sad.

A waste of useful manpower; perform chemical frontal lobbotamies on all and traint he resulting automatons to rake leaves, push a broom, pick up litter, or clean bathrooms. Can’t have a death penalty for something less heinous than killing partially born alive children ... oh, that’s right, even that isn’t evil enough in liberal think. BTW, in what state was this occurring; I want to watch what happens to these pukes so I can decide if this is yet another state to avoid even traveling through on the way to somewhere else.

If I ever got on the tolerance train, I'd use it to run over POS's like the thugs in this article.

I think you have to call them a name before it is a hate crime.......................

I’d say instead of salt water bath (may pass out), strap them down, back up, and for the next 24 hours, saltwater Chinese water torture. Don’t know which spot of the back gets it next. Probably not enough pain to pass out, but enough to really make them wish they’d pass out.

Not practiced anymore, but the frontal lobotomy would be a way to be sure they don't harm anyone ever again.
