The Park Ridge (Minnesota) Enterprise is reporting that a well-known Park Rapids surveyor and developer faces felony theft charges in a case that alleges elements of competitive espionage.

Thomas Miller, 64, has been charged with downloading the database of Arro Surveying, his former employer, and taking it and a client list to Lindow Surveying and Mapping, where he is now employed.

Miller is a fixture at Hubbard County Board of Adjustment and Planning Commission meetings, where his projects and clients are frequently presented and represented.

Miller, through his attorney, has denied the allegations.
