Officers met with an employee who stated that a female donor had been seen with bruises. The female donor acknowledges the bruises having been caused by a male that had accompanied her at the donation center. The staff brought the female into a private room where she admitted that the male with her had assaulted her, frequently tells her he will kill her, and he does not let her use her phone, and she is simply trying to stay alive. She said this was her first opportunity away from him so she could make this report. Officers and Investigator Erickson conducted an interview with the female gathering a statement and pictures of her injuries, interviewed staff and nurses, and inevitably made an arrest on the suspect male. Further investigation by Inv Erickson and follow up interviews with the victim showed that several other assaults by the suspect occurred in other counties. The victim reported in Dakota County that when the defendant saw something on the victim's phone that he believed was from her ex -boyfriend, he assaulted her. In Washington County the suspect saw the defendant had a language learning app on her phone, the language her ex -boyfriend speaks, the suspect assaulted her and back handed her with his knuckles, causing a bruise to her face. Investigation also showed that the suspect assaulted the victim at a mall and while they were driving around the mall's parking lot, the suspect accused her of looking at another man and assaulted her again. Inv Erickson gathered surveillance footage to corroborate these reports.
