DETROIT LAKES — Joseph Lee Stiyer, 23, of rural Detroit Lakes, has been charged in Becker County District Court with felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
According to court records, on Feb. 2, a Becker County deputy was called to an address on 276th Street, Callaway. Upon arrival, the deputy spoke to a man and several witnesses who had been present at the home during the assault.
A female witness noted that she had been at the home when a pickup truck pulled up with Stiyer and two other males, later identified. Stiyer said, “I have a lease here” (one witness at the home noted that, apparently, the house that the victim and witness are living in is in civil court proceedings about who should own it)…
