A Dakota County sheriff’s officer allegedly caught two Minnesota lawmakers “making out” in a parked car last week, according to law enforcement reports and court records, but the lawmakers say that accusation is “completely false” and a “lie.”

State Rep. Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing, and Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, were issued citations for causing a nuisance on Aug. 25.

The two, who are married to other people, were in Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan when they were allegedly spotted by the officer ‘making out’ in a parked car around 4:30 p.m., according to documents. The officer’s notes claim Mack was half undressed when he approached the vehicle.

Kelly said he had had simply met Mack to receive some documents when an officer approached their vehicle about a parking violation.
