Police have been seeking 31-year-old Christopher Bjerkness since surveillance tape allegedly showed him breaking into a gym in May and slashing exercise balls.
Police are familiar with Bjerkness. A criminal complaint released Thursday says he was convicted in 2005 of breaking into a sports facility at the University of Minnesota in Duluth and slashing about 70 exercise balls. Each ball cost between $30 and $60.
The complaint says when Bjerkness pleaded guilty in that case, he admitted slashing more than 40 other balls at two gyms. Court documents say Bjerkness told police he slashed the rubber balls to satisfy a sexual urge. Experts said he has an unusual attraction to inflatable exercise devices.
