Summary

A judge dropped charges against Zachary Vinton, accused of trying to have sex with two young girls, citing insufficient evidence and his mental disability. But County Attorney Don Kleine refuses to back down, filing a petition under the Developmental Disability Act to prove Vinton poses a public danger — claiming his mental state resembles that of a ten-year-old and citing a troubling zoo incident. The county is now weighing options to protect the public, from restricted movement to secure placement, as Kleine vows to find a way to manage Vinton’s behavior and prevent future harm.
