WQOW News 18 has learned that charges have been filed against a Pepin man accused of severely beating a Hmong hunter. Kevin Elberg was charged Wednesday with aggravated battery and false imprisonment. He is accused of attacking 64-year old Sao Lue Vang as he hunted in Pepin County last month. According to the charges, Vang told investigators he was hunting on public land when he must have wandered on to private land and was confronted by Elberg, who was hunting on his fathers land at the time. Vang said he apologized several times, but that Elberg knocked him down while his back was turned, and repeatedly hit and kicked him. Investigators say Elberg claims Vang pointed a rifle at him, but Vang says it was slung over his shoulder the entire time. Police say Vang suffered severe injuries. Elberg is due in court on December 15. wqow/story/27541717/2014/12/03/latest-pepin-man-charged-with-severely-beating-hmong-hunter
