MINNETONKA, Minn. — The owner of a home on Crestwood Drive East says the man who died after an encounter with Hennepin County deputies was his son, 28-year-old Clint Hoyhtya.

Thomas Hoyhtya says his son moved in some 20 months ago after he worked with a local attorney to have what he calls three squatters evicted from his home.

According to court documents, Clint Hoyhtya filed an eviction notice against the tenant, who happened to be his sister. He says she allowed two others to live there, in the basement, without paying rent for more than a year and a half.
