A Minnesota Department of Human Services employee, whose Tesla vandalism spree in Minneapolis was caught on video, is still employed by the state.
Taxpayers are continuing to pay the salary of Dylan Adams, a fiscal policy analyst at the Minneapolis DHS.
In March, Adams racked up more than $21,000 in damages during work hours as he walked around the city with his dog and keyed the electric cars.
When asked about consequences Adams may have faced for his vandalism, a DHS spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Mail that 'Dylan Adams is a current employee.'
The spokesperson also said, 'no public data exists with respect to disciplinary action.'
Adams' acts of vandalism were caught on video because Teslas are equipped with 360 degree cameras and automatically record when someone approaches the vehicle.
Despite the damning footage, Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty declined to pursue criminal charges against Adams. Her office instead said it would seek a 'diversion' of the case.
'This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses,' Moriarty said.
'Criminal prosecution remains a possibility should unlawful behavior continue.'
District attorney Moriarty has been criticized in the past for her progressive approach in dealing with criminals.
One of her biggest controversies came in 2023, when she played a key role in overturning the conviction of a man who was arrested for murdering a flower shop employee during a robbery in 2004.
She has established a first-of-its-kind Conviction Integrity Unit dedicated to re-examining past convictions and pursuing 'appropriate relief' for those convicted.
Her office also announced this year that it would stop prosecuting felony cases that stem from low-level traffic stops.

She is just plain evil. To her, there are no criminals.
Agreed. I wonder if charges would be pressed if one of the car owners keyed Dylan Adams himself.
Leftist governments have no standards except one: the infamous double one.
Never ever trust a Democrat gubmit ‘worker’.
Never.
We’ll not mention your typical marshmallow intellect Marxist ‘professor’.
Expected
Just a commie dyke. What to expect?
I thought the AG “knew who they are and they were going to convict them to the furthest extent of the law.” When?????
He should have been dumped without delay. His posterior is being covered.
