Alexandria sign theft

Judd and Wendy Hoff, an Alexandria couple, have been arrested and charged with felony theft after police discovered over 240 stolen yard signs at their home, many of which were painted over to promote Judd's campaign for the Minnesota House of Representatives. The signs, valued at over $1,000, included political, event, and garage sale signage, indicating a widespread theft across the community. Wendy Hoff faces a felony theft charge while Judd Hoff is charged with aiding and abetting theft and receiving stolen property. The couple's illegal activities were reported from early July to early August, leading to their arrest after a traffic stop. Their actions have led to the rescinding of Judd Hoff's political endorsement by the Douglas County DFL due to past allegations of harassment and stalking. The couple remains in custody as the case proceeds through the legal system.
