Coon Rapids Man Sentenced To Prison After Parole Violation For Secret Social Media Accounts
A Coon Rapids man has been sentenced to five years in prison following a probation violation by failing to report relevant information during his required sex offender registration (SOR). According to Carroll County District Court records, 41-year-old Kyle Hart failed to verify new or changed internet identifiers on his May 23 SOR review. A search warrant was conducted at his residency, which discovered a secondary device with active social media accounts used for communication. Hart was taken into custody in early July and remains at the Carroll County Jail with no bond set. A revocation hearing took place on July 26, where an administrative parole judge ruled Hart violated conditions of restrictions on movement, supervision conduct, and legal conduct, revoking his parole and sentencing him to the Iowa Department of Corrections (DOC).

This was Hart’s second revocation of this sentence.

Twin Rivers Exploration LLC was founded in 2022 and recently completed land surveys in Webster County. The phrase “seismic testing” brings to mind mining crews and sticks of dynamite, but Twin Rivers Land Representative Chris Justice says their testing methods are much more mundane.
