Walnut Grove-Area Man Sentenced to Four Years, Nine Months for Murray County Burglaries

A man connected to rural Walnut Grove was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison after being convicted of two second-degree burglary counts involving a storage facility and a vacant residence in Murray County.

According to an October 23 report by The Watch MN, investigators connected Daryl Wade Littell to a November 2024 break-in at a Slayton self-storage facility. Items reported stolen were later found during a search at a rural Walnut Grove address.

A separate investigation involved burglaries at a vacant rural Slayton home in February 2026. Deputies used a silent alarm and later recovered property during a search of a residence in rural Garvin.

The report says Littell was convicted October 5, 2026, and received a four-year, nine-month term, with 223 days of credit; a concurrent three-year sentence was imposed in the storage case. Other counts were dismissed.
