Stillwater's Ex-Mayor Junker Pleads Guilty To Junk

STILLWATER, Minn. (AP) ― A former Stillwater mayor has pleaded guilty to violating the city's nuisance ordinance after neighbors complained about the junk at his house.

David "Choc" Junker told a Washington County judge on Monday that he's cleaning up his property and that the job would be finished by June 27, which is his sentencing date.

Police went to Junker's home last year after neighbors complained. The police report says Junker's yard was littered with old tires, old metal tubing, old lawnmowers, old snowmobile hull and other junk.

Junker told police in August that he would clean up the mess, but when officers came back to check they found trash and issued him a ticket.

Junker is a former mayor, former public works director and former longtime school board member in Stillwater.
