The suspect was placed under arrest and transported back to the Mounds View Police Department where the Mounds View VCET Investigator began writing Search Warrants for a sample of the suspect's DNA and to conduct a forensic search of the suspect's cellular phone for additional evidence. Further investigation led to the discovery of photos on the suspect's phone of the same handgun recovered during the traffic stop. The suspect remains in custody for felony charges along with a detention hold from another county in which an Arrest Warrant had been issued in 2017 for his arrest stemming from a Criminal Sexual Conduct investigation. In March 2023, the Mounds View VCET Investigator learned of a Criminal Sexual Conduct investigation that was currently assigned to a Mounds View General Investigator. After learning that an arrest warrant had been issued and that the suspect had fled the state, the Mounds View VCET Investigator utilized Law Enforcement resources and Investigative techniques to acquire the suspects location. After speaking with Law Enforcement in another state, physical surveillance was set up on an address where the suspect was believed to be staying. Shortly thereafter, the suspect exited his home where he was taken into custody by Law Enforcement. The suspect remains in custody and awaits extradition back to Minnesota. In March 2023, Ramsey County VCET Investigators were conducting an undercover operation in which the undercover officer was going to purchase a large quantity of blue M30 fentanyl pills. While conducting physical surveillance, Ramsey County VCET Investigators observed the targets conduct an armed robbery of a victim. The suspects fled the area unaware that undercover officers witnessed the robbery and were following them. Ramsey County VCET Investigators followed the suspects to a house and watched them go inside. After a perimeter was set up around the house, the suspects were called out of the house and taken into custody. Ramsey County VCET Investigators then executed a Search Warrant on the home where they located the firearm and clothing used in the robbery. Both suspects were federally indicted and remain in custody.
