Tim Kishel admits he lost it last night.
"It just breaks my heart when they tear things up like this and have no respect for my property," Kishel said.
According to Kishel, dozens of snowmobilers tore through and tore up the yard of his East Bethel home over the weekend. Last night he confronted one and said as he was walking up to the driver, the driver gunned the motor and hit him.
Kishel said the driver sped away and left him with bruises on his body and scratches on his head. Kishel said he called 911.
An army of snowmobilers took to the trails this weekend to enjoy the snow from last week's storm. Anoka County Sheriff's Deputy Tim Sink said he issued a lot of tickets.
"They're riding up closer into people's yards," Sink said. "Trying to find smooth spots is what they are doing. They need to stay down in the ditches."
Tim Kishel wishes they would. He says he recently spent three thousand dollars to improve his yard.
"We're trying to grow some pine trees and some natural prairie-type grasses," Kishel said.
Kishel put up several signs to protect the area but he said snowmobilers knocked them down. He said he's considering putting up a snow fence, but he believes that may get knocked down too.
Kishel said most snowmobilers who pass by his house are polite and that it's a small group that causes trouble.
"I try to be patient," Kishel said. "Sometimes I'm not that good at it."
