A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the State of Minnesota, was captured on vehicle surveillance footage allegedly dragging a key across the exteriors of several Teslas, stripping paint and causing thousands of dollars in damage.

Authorities reportedly arrested Adams on suspicion of causing an estimated $20,000 in damage, with formal charges still pending, according to the Minnesota-based crime watch account @ CrimeWatchMpls on X.

Disturbing surveillance videos showed Adams allegedly approaching the vehicles from across the street, leash in one hand, while pulling his keys from his pocket with the other.

In one clip, he allegedly carved into the rear of a Tesla.

In another, he seemingly targeted the side of the vehicle nearest the sidewalk, again using his key to scratch a deep line across the car's body.

The specific markings or messages he allegedly etched remain unclear.

In a separate clip, Adams - seen wearing a rust-colored beanie, a dark gray sweatshirt and black vest - crossed the road before allegedly dragging his key from the driver's side door to the rear of the vehicle, then casually walking away.

Yet another video showed him in a different outfit - this time a black winter jacket and a burgundy Minnesota Gophers hat - allegedly repeating the same act of vandalism as he walks by another Tesla with his dog.

A fourth clip, believed to have been recorded in the parking lot of Target, showed Adams exiting his vehicle while wearing a Golden State Warriors jersey over a light gray hoodie.

He then walked toward a nearby Tesla, readied his key and seemingly scratched into the paint before fleeing the scene undisturbed.
