A former Cook County Sheriff deputy and former church youth leader in Grand Marais, Minnesota sentenced for harassing teens.

MICAH AVERY WORKED AS SHERIFF’S DEPUTY IN 2021

Following publication of our article on Grand Marais former church youth leader Micah Avery being sentenced for harassing two teenage girls, the Monitor was contacted by a Grand Marais resident who was concerned that we were “blaming” Avery’s actions on the church and “covering up” the fact that Avery had once been a Cook County Sheriff’s deputy.

We had known (and reported) that Avery had been a probation officer, but this was the first time we had heard of him being a deputy.

An email to the Cook County Human Resources Department confirmed this: Five years ago, Micah Avery worked as a deputy sheriff for about five months—from May 9, 2021 to Sept. 30, 2021.

The Monitor does not blame anyone for Avery’s actions but Avery. Abusers are skilled at insinuating themselves into positions of influence to be closer to their victims, and their deceit can be difficult to detect. They don’t wear signs advertising what they are.

When the church discovered Avery’s text messages, they immediately reported him to law enforcement and expelled him from the church. As they heal from the wounds Avery inflicted, we do not believe they should be punished further with resentful accusations.

Our coverage of Avery's sentencing can be found here:

Black man severely beaten by gang of white men at local Duluth bar and Duluth Police ignore reports he was beaten by crowd. When initial police arrived they grabbed black man and dragged him to the ground ignoring his injuries and cries he was beaten by as many as 5 white men in a racist hate crime.

Numerous members of the Center for Judicial and Police Reform and Accountability Duluth witnessed first hand the racist beatings and that the Duluth Police disregard the man's pleas for help.

Amy Alden Lemenager was one of the first two officers to arrive and attack the black man. In the video, you will see Lemenager attack and spin man to the ground. IGNORING his severe injuries and cries for help.

The video begins as squads arrive for a disturbance, notice many white men near the front entrance turned around and fled immediately to the interior of the establishment as police arrived. One man who was involved with beating the blackman fled running towards the west side of the building.

Again, three of us witnessed what and who first hand, all assailants were white. And a black man was allowed to be severely beaten with zero mercy and was denied any timely medical attention.

The man was beaten over and over even as he layed on the ground defenseless, he was kicked in the face and torso repeatedly. He was punched over and over in the face and torso as racial slurs were being yelled.

Numerous people tried to break up the beating and were also repeatedly hit with punches and kicks.

At the 15 second mark, police are attacking the black man and attempting to take him to the ground.

What we witmessed was nothing but a hate crime that the Duluth Police are ignoring.

Video audio is tough to hear with the falling rain, turn volume up.
Video is 20mins
the action of the police is in the first minute
the beatings took place at the far end of the parking lot on the east side of building and not in view of our cameras. But winessed by many partons.

It took 8 police officers, including two we know well. Brady Herbst, a brutal and hostile member of the Duluth Police dept. that brutalized our Public Information Officer on his first day in office.

And Amy Alden Lemenager, who ignored a major fraud report involving a child and father who were defrauded by St Louis County social worker Lindsay Sauer. After Sauer faked a home visit after the child's life was threatened and failed to make any reports eventhough, she is a mandatory reporter.

Racism is alive and well in Duluth Minnesota and is an institutional problem being ignored by the Chief Bigot, Mike Ceynowa at the Duluth Police Dept. Even after numerous whistleblowers have come forward with allegations of racist misconduct by many officers within the Duluth Police. All while we live the american dream.

The Center for Judicial and Police Reform and Accountability Duluth held a vote of it's members, 119/0 to condemn the actions of the Duluth Police Dept, especially the first two arriving officers. Who added insult to serious injuries received from a racist brutal attack.

Man who was beaten was lodged at the St Louis County Jail on Haines Rd and is still in a cell at the time of this report. We interviewed the man Sept 17th, 2026 via video from inside the jail. He was full of bruises, wounds, mouth lacerations and missing teeth.

Reward of up to $25,000 for persons coming forward, making a report to us and making report to the Duluth Police of the racist beatings and slurs being yelled.

Inquiries should be directed to our Public Information Officer at [email protected]

DISGUSTING NEWS / Duluth Police Brutality Alert - Excessive force? Over Zealous? Retribution? Or just plain stupid... You be the Judge. This is what we know about 'OPERATION AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS' targeting our Public Information Officer on his first day in office.

Which was conducted to capture a seriously deadly man off the streets of Duluth and lock him up at the Honorable Gordon Ramsay St Louis County Jail. Where he was promptly degraded and refused medical assistance.

WHERE / WHEN
1200 block of Stanford Ave, Duluth Heights approx. 11am Aug 25th, 2026, a beautiful breezy warm Minnesota summer day. Girl Dad emerges from home to check mail and is pounced on by neo n**i mindset piggly wigglies.

WHO
Girl Dad with A.L.S VS. 222 pound linebacker with a badge.
Duluth Police Dept's Hero Brady Herbst tackled terminally ill Girl Dad out walking in the yard, attempting to make the daily extreme nausea ease up.. So he could head to Chiro / physical therapy and perform his 2-4 hour a day workout just to keep the low amount of existing muscle from wilting.

Trying to maintain or improve health is a full time job, take a few days off and legs tend to bindup and nasty shooting pains take over. If stopped mobility ends.

As a result of completely unnecessary brutality, that left injury to neck, spine and arm. Man was already struggling to complete daily tasks and make memories with his 11 year old daughter.

A heavy police presence and drone opps were deployed above to capture this dangerous, often bedridden and elusive creature. Before he started to ask questions and expected any sort of accountability, the order was given to attack.

It took an additional 7 Duluth Police officers to take down the man. Instead of kneeling down and putting their knees to his neck, they twisted his arms and bent him over like a circus animal. While they also degrade and tell man he is a fake. Brady was adamant about "Sir, if you can go workout and have ALS, your just fine. You big fake. "

[[ The duty to intercede was completely disregarded. Retribution over ruled duty. ]

Central command stated , "Our fine officers got a seriously deadly man off the streets of Duluth and locked him up at the St Louis County Jail. With all of the homeless you were all wondering about. "

[ Whoooo hooooo, get me more of those ALS patients they don't fight back, just pure domination. Better than vi**ra baby... linebackers rule !!! ]

This is a developing story of disregard and retribution. A probe has been launched by the Center for Judicial and Police Reform and Accountability. Numerous videos have been sent to us for review. [ see below if you can contribute ]

Individuals involved
For DPD team brutality: Pig Brady Herbst, Pig & repeat offender Mikayla Cozzi, Pig & repeat offender Lucas Pyrlik, 5 other piggly wigglies were aiding and exacting the department's retribution. For the opposing team: Girl Dad with ALS.

REWARD INFORMATION
We are seeking any images or video captured of the hunt and capture of this dangerous creature. Up to a $5000 reward. If you have been brutalized or just treated like a piece of s**t, by any of these team DPD players were offering up to $25,000 reward for your misery.

VICTIM Impact Statement
Dear brutal Brady, all you have to do is come over again Brady, sit down and learn how to appropriately deal with someone with ALS. Learn how your brutality severely affects someone when your twisting their arms, stomping on their feet with zero fn mercy,. Verbally and mentally abusing a perp or victim, and showing no tolerance for weakness is disgusting.

We know you're a big strong buck that likes to take advantage of weaker, smaller, diseased people. But all this is not good for your soul, because it is the direct opposite of what Jesus would do. And it's going to be very hot down there big fella. Link to more information for Brutal Brady:

Victim is speaking out about brutality and too many deaths at the St. Louis County Jail.
Victim will be speaking at the Lutheran Church next to the Honorable Gordon Ramsay St Louis County Jail on Haines Rd. on Sunday morning Sept 6th, 2026. Services start at 9am. Inmates with cells facing south look out at the church, while being locked in hell. God and love is just out the window.

A message from the victim to the Duluth Police Team Brutality and Stabby at the jail.
We live in a small town, we will be seeing each other and we will be seeking every legal way to get accountability. Meaning you, Pig Brady Herbst, Pig & repeat offender Mikayla Cozzi, Pig & repeat offender Lucas Pyrlik, and you hostile assclown Stabby, and the 5 other piggies that assisted.

You were brutal, cruel, inhumane, you lied, you allowed yourselves to be manipulated by someone that wants me dead and out of my child''s life. My child is all I have left. You have no idea what it is like to be coping with a debilitating disease, at the same time watching a child navigate understanding her Dad's turmoil and being taken advantage of by so many.

You severely escalated the encounter and you loved it. You attacked me as the ground is falling out from underneath me. I don't know if there will be a tmrw. We are trying every fn way to slow it down or beat it.

When you attack someone about if they can walk or not, when you berate them in front of the entire jail staff, you're missing the entire reason you became what you did. You've become hardened and brutal and fast to react the wrong way. You ran with details about me that are very untrue and designed to cause me maximum pain and maybe even death.

My beating from you sick son of a bi**hes has pushed my body into territory I'm not certain I'm going to escape from. Instead of jumping to escalation, I would have obeyed you, if you told me to put my hands up. And I would have also put my own hands behind my back and let you put cuffs on me. It would have taken less time and been appropriate for the situation.

When you lay down tonight after your shift, and all of the thoughts come rushing in, I hope you read this and let it sink in. Then later this week when this is really starting to get to you, you should do the right thing. Stay the F**k away from me and let me suffer less, so I can try to get back what I've lost after your sick bigoted and sexist torture.

You too Stabby... your hypertension is going to catch up with you. The big one is coming and maybe the good Correctional Officers that are so unhappy working in your jail, exacting your hostility and sickness might just let you lay there and die. Just like so many others you allowed to expire, during your 15 years there big fella.

Maybe you remember screaming at me for, " f**king up your flow of bodies coming in?" Yeah, that guy that was faking and the fact that in 15 years you've, " never seen such a piece of s**t come in your jail."

You are going to eat those words MR. Or just go ahead and apologize, could you stoop to that level? Have you ever apologized for yourself? You set the stage for your staff treating me poorly.

While you were out for after work drinks and food, I was lying in my own urine having a cold emergency for over 4 hours on an ice cold concrete floor. I did attempt to make it known several times that my body has lost the ability to thermoregulate. There is a small window of temp that I won't have a problem with, and without a cap or hat, I lost my buffer to stay regulated.

I was begging, crying and trying to get up on that plastic chair in cell 1OR1. No sink, water, toilet, or heat. Though, someone was checking every so often, they ignored me in that floor covered in urine sh**hole. It seemed the only vital sign needed for officers to believe you're OK is breathing.

There is no honor in brutality and any perceived dignity you or that place had, evaporated long ago.
