Criminal Sexual Conduct and Strangulation On November 26th 2023, Mounds View Officers were notified of a sexual assault that occurred on the 7000 block of Edgewood Drive. The victim stated she had been romantically involved with the suspect since March this year. She described the relationship as "rocky" and "toxic". That night the victim went to the bar with the suspect to play pool. While at the bar the suspect started sharpening a knife that he carries and at one point he lifted up the victim's shirt and ran the sharp side of the knife down her back, leaving a mark. They later returned to her residence. The suspect's phone began to buzz late at night which upset the victim because the suspect has history of sleeping with other girls. She told him to leave. They began to argue and the suspect grabbed the victim's neck with his hand and slammed her onto the bed. The suspect choked her, causing her to make a gurgling sound and impact her breathing. The suspect then forced the victim to have sexual intercourse with him. She asked him to stop and he responded, not until I am done with you. The victim later went to the hospital for a sexual assault test. Days later, the suspect was located and arrested. Further investigations looked into the suspect's cell phone, gathered DNA evidence, and review jail calls made by the suspect. The suspect was charged with two counts of 1 st Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct and Domestic Assault by Strangulation.
