WLAA Director Jean Dresen discovered the breaking and entering of the building Friday morning, Sept. 14, when she stopped to check on the facility. She reported the incident to the Muskegon County Sheriff’s Department at 9:05 a.m.

“It makes me sick,” Dresen said when showing the thieves handiwork to the media Monday morning, while WLAA Board member Dennis Atchison was cleaning out a storage building on the site and while she was waiting for some landscaping work to be done on the interior.
