Deputies say Kelly and a friend were fishing on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River last night when they got into a verbal fight with three men on the Wisconsin side. The Polk County Sheriff’s office said this was a situation that went on for about three hours. It started around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, when Kelly and his friend observed a group of young men fishing across the river being loud and rude. By 9:45 p.m., their efforts to get them to quiet down had turned into a face-to-face confrontation at Interstate Park in St. Croix Falls. That’s where the fatal stabbing took place. The St. Croix River is known for being a great place to fish… when it’s quiet. Captain Steve Smith with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Wisconsin shared some of the details. “The group on the Wisconsin side, the conduct was inappropriate. The group on the Minnesota side was making statements like, ‘Why don’t you clean up your act. The challenge was made – ‘why don’t you come over here,'” Captain Smith said.
