What will happen to the former Lutsen Lodge site?
Judge halted civil foreclosure actions so criminal arson and insurance fraud charges against Bryce Campbell proceed first, involving over $14 million in debts tied to the destroyed lodge.
- A judge last week halted a civil action regarding the Lutsen Lodge land, ruling Bryce Campbell should face arson and insurance-fraud charges before creditors attempt foreclosure.
- Citing the Fifth Amendment, attorneys argued the civil and insurance suits contain overlapping issues, risking Campbell invoking his rights before Judge Theresa Neo.
- Records show several creditors have filed mechanics' liens: Double Jack seeks $84,664, Highmark $270,965, McKeever $8,918, and some have moved to foreclose to satisfy those debts.
- As a result, the property could remain in limbo, and Tyson Smith, attorney for the creditors seeking foreclosure, said he intends to appeal the delay.
- A judge last week paused a civil foreclosure, with statewide implications for Cook County's economy, as a federal judge suspended a $16.5 million insurance suit and the mortgage was transferred to Owners Insurance Co.
