Charges Dismissed In Chain-Saw Harassment Case

Lynn Marie Herzog
WINFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Prosecutors in Lincoln County, Mo., have dropped charges against a woman who was initially accused of scaring neighborhood children with a chainsaw.

Lincoln County prosecutor Leah Askey told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that charges against 50-year-old Lynn Marie Herzog of Winfield were dismissed after a grand jury failed to indict her.

The incident happened in June.

Authorities said Herzog was wearing a ski mask and holding a chainsaw when she aggressively approached neighborhood children. She was charged with felony harassment.
