Re: Upcoming Revocation Hearing for 4625 and 4633 Tyler Street
Dear Mayor and Members of the Columbia Heights City Council:
Ll

Enclosed you will find a copy of the power point presentation that the CHPD has prepared for the upcoming
Council Work Session on March 5h and the Public Hearing regarding these properties at the Council Meeting
on March 12th. You will also find copies of several police reports documenting some of the more serious
incidents for you to reference and review.
Mr. Schumacher has owned these properties since mid -year 2008. He has operated these properties in a way
that has adversely affected the safety, and welfare of the residents of these properties as well as the rest of the
neighborhood and areas nearby. These two properties account for a disproportionate number of police calls to
the property and he has failed to comply with the crime free /drug free section of the property maintenance code.
Mr. Schumacher has been notified of a Public Hearing at the Columbia Heights City Council Meeting
scheduled to be held on March 12, 2018. Because of the criminal and nuisance activity that has occurred, and
the disproportionate number of calls that have occurred on the property, the CHPD will be recommending to the
Council that Mr. Schumacher's licenses for both 4625 and 4633 Tyler Street be revoked. It should be noted that
if the Council chooses to revoke both of these licenses, Mr. Schumacher shall be ineligible to hold or have an
interest in an occupancy license for a period of five years.
I will be prepared to answer any questions you may have at the upcoming Council Work Session.
Sincerely,
enra stir
Chief f Police

CASE SUMMARY: Dispatched to the area for a vehicle that was on fire. Arrived and located small flames coming
from out of the gas cap area. CHFD diminished flames and advised that it was arson.
Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On 01 -07 -16 at 0219 hours, I was dispatched to the 4600 block of Tyler St NE for a vehicle fire. Dispatch
notes updated that it was small flames coming out of the gas can.
I arrived and observed a small flame coming out of the gas cap area of MN 326 -HZL. CHFD arrived and
quickly extinguished the fire. I was advised right away by CHFD Captain Field that it was arson. I observed
a long metal rod coming out of the gas tank/cap area with some sort of cloth shoved in it. There were fresh
footprints in the snow also right next to the area. I photographed the footprints. They came out of 4619 Tyler
St NE and left northbound on Tyler St. I lost the tracks going up the stairs towards 4625 Tyler St NE. I could
not find where they came from inside of 4619 Tyler St.
I also photographed the metal coat hanger and cloth inside the gas cap. I later uploaded all photos as
evidence at the CHPD. I spoke with a male, Tracy James, who claimed that it was his vehicle. It was actually
registered to his fiance Ashley Simmons. Tracy was unable to get a hold of Ashley after trying numerous
times. Tracy said that there was a female staying with him off and on and he thinks she did it.
I took a recorded statement from Tracy and he said that a female by the name of "Poo" was staying off and
on at his place. Poo, later identified as P M, is Ashely's god sister. Tracy told P on Monday that she needed
to "move on," meaning that she needed to find a new place. Tracy said that she got upset and said "you
mother fucker, I'm going to get your truck." She also told Tracy that she was going to get people to jump
him. Tracy hasn't seen P since Monday. Tracy said that P doesn't know anyone inside 4619 Tyler St that he
knows of. Tracy doesn't know anyone in that building that he thinks would do this.
Capt. Field collected the evidence and handed it over to me. I completed an evidence sheet and placed the
evidence in a locker at the CHPD.

Nothing further.
Follow -up Investigation
There have not been any leads in this case and P M denied having anything to do with when she was
questioned about it by Sgt. Pletcher. I am considering this case inactive until more evidence or information is
obtained.

CASE SUMMARY: I was dispatched to this location for a report that the caller had found a dead body in his home.
Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On August 18, 2016 at 1132 hours I was dispatched to this location for a report that the caller had found a
dead body in his home. I arrived after the Columbia Heights Fire Department (CHFD) personnel and learned
that the victim was deceased and had apparently been so for some time. The responding ambulance was
cancelled, and CHFD personnel left.
The Medical Examiner was requested after CID arrived, and Assistant Medical Examiner (ME) Heidi
Palenik responded.
I talked with the complainant/resident, Tracy James. Tracy identified the victim as a cousin named Bobby
Anderson. Tracy thought Bobby's middle name was Bob, and he thought Bobby was 45yoa. Tracy had some
people over the previous evening for barbecue to include Bobby. The two were drinking beer and talking
until about midnight when Tracy checked on his kids and went to bed.
Today Tracy had some errands to run. He was going to ask Bobby to watch his kids. Tracy went upstairs to
the north bedroom with his cousin Ronald. When Tracy tried to wake Bobby, Tracy realized that he was
dead and had 911 called.

was found deceased. R said that he went to sleep but woke up at 5 am to loud snoring from Bobby. R said
that Bobby was sleeping with his eyes open while he snored. R left the room. Today he was with Tracy as
Tracy tried to wake Bobby and realized that Bobby was dead.
Tracy's 15 you daughter, was also home. She may have been the last person to talk with Bobby. Leah said
that Bobby was up talking with her at the kitchen table around 4:00 am. Bobby went up to sleep around 4:30
am.
Detective Lee told me that he had learned from interviewing Bobby's wife that he has had a problem with
cocaine, and this may have contributed to his death.
End of report.

CASE SUMMARY: Officers were dispatched to a report of physical domestic between the caller's parents. The
caller said that her father needed an ambulance.
Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On May 1, 2017 at 1345 hours, I, Officer Sinn, and Sgt. Museus, responded to a report of parents fighting.
The 911 dispatch information noted that the parents were throwing things and it was getting physical.
Further notes stated that the dad needed an ambulance and could be heard yelling. It was also noted that his
head was bleeding.
The 911 notes and said that the caller was asked to call 911 by the step -mom.
Things were quiet outside the door to the home when we arrived. I knocked and it remained quiet. As I
knocked on the door some more it suddenly became loud inside, and I could hear someone coming down
stairs before the front door was unlocked. It appeared that the door had been unlocked and opened by a
woman named Ashley Simmons. Ashley was yelling back and forth with a man named Tracey James, and
the two were separated.
I talked with Ashley and tried to get her to calm down. Officer Museus spoke with Tracey who had a cut on
the right side of his forehead, but I did not see bleeding.
Ashley was trying to leave, but Tracey had taken her iPad, cell phone and keys.
825 415 Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (763) 706 -8100 f (763) 706 -8126

Officer Museus talked with Tracey and told me that Ashley was going to be arrested for 2nd Degree Assault
and Domestic assault. She had allegedly been threatening Tracey with a knife.
I took Ashley to my squad where she waived her right to have an attorney present during questioning and
gave me her account of the incident.
Ashley pointed to a man walking up towards Tracey's house and said that the man was probably there to buy
drugs.
Ashley asked to have her kids taken to her mother's house by a friend who had arrived.
Ashley was transported to the Anoka County Jail and booked electronically for 2nd Degree Assault and
Domestic Assault.. I left a victim notification form there..
Sgt. Museus took statements from Tracey and his teenage daughters.
Sinn, Greg HPD00039
FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On 05/02/2017 I, Inv. Tim Noll I was assigned this incident to charge in- custody. The reports were sent to
the Anoka County Attorney for charging 2nd degree assault and domestic assault. Prosecutor Brenda Sund
was assigned the case to review. I later received a phone call from her and was informed that there was not
enough evidence to charge the 2nd degree assault in this case. She suggested that I send this case to the
CHPD city attorney for charges. I then completed a 102 form to release the suspect in this case on the 2nd
degree assault charges. Officer Sinn then completed a citation for misd. domestic assault for the suspect in
this case. I faxed the 102 form and the citation to the Anoka County Jail. I then faxed all the paperwork to
the appropriate places for a misd. Domestic assault in- custody. I called the CHPD city attorneys office and
let them know the situation also. I put the citation, the fax cover sheets and the 102 form in my daily folder.
Cleared by arrest.

CASE SUMMARY: Report of teenage son buying weed from male at listed address.
Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On 5/5/2017 at approximately 1847 hours, while on routine patrol, I was flagged down by a visibly upset
woman in the 4600 block of Tyler St NE. I stopped and spoke with M, her husband, and their son X. M was
extremely upset after finding out that her son has been buying marijuana from a man named "T -Man" at
4625 Tyler St NE #7. I immediately recognized T -Man to be Tracy James, who has lived at the address for
several years. I showed a picture to X and he confirmed that Tracey was T -Man. X then stated that he buys
"dime bags," which I know from my training and experience to be $10 baggies of marijuana, from Tracey on
a weekly basis, as do several other teenagers in the area. X stated that he also smokes marijuana inside the
address with Tracey's daughter, A, and that Tracey is often there while juveniles smoke marijuana in his
apartment. X stated that Tracey has a camera over his front door. X stated that Tracey has a gun and that he
has seen the gun, as well as a cell phone video of Tracey playing with the gun. X was very contrite and
obviously upset that his parents had caught him. I advised M that I would forward this information to the
CHPD Street Crimes Unit, The Anoka - Hennepin Drug Task Force, as well as the property owner. M was
extremely upset and wanted me to arrest Tracey immediately but I advised M what would need to happen
before an arrest could be made. I did go Tracey's address to attempt to make contact with him, and I
observed an obvious camera over the front door. I knocked and A answered, and I observed approximately
15 juveniles inside, but Tracey was not home. M requested that the police follow -up with her once action has
been taken at the address.

On 5/7/2017 I was advised by X that Tracey James is "selling weed to kids" from his apartment, 4625 Tyler
St NE #7. Earlier that day, I was given the same information by an unrelated reporting party. X states that
Tracey has a lot of short term traffic coming/going from his apartment and that it's usually teenage kids that
go there to buy small amounts of marijuana. Tracey stated she has told this to officers before, approximately
a year earlier. Tracey has six kids, with at least three living with him at the address. The previous report also
mentioned that Tracey has a gun in the residence; Tracey is a convicted felon.
I request this report be forwarded to Anoka- Hennepin Drug Task Force and CHPD SCU for review /follow-
up.
I request this report be forwarded to Social Services for review, as I know they already have a case open on
Tracey (17095961).

Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On 06/04/2017 at 1901 hours, I, Officer Wood was sitting in the parking lot of 4654 Tyler Street. We had a
previous call of a juvenile female stating that she was drugged at the neighbor's house (4625 Tyler Street,
Case # 17122930), so I stayed in the area. I parked my squad car in the parking lot of 4654 Tyler Street.
As I was parked in the parking lot, I observed a male who I know as Tracey Lashaun James (DOB:
01/06/1965) start arguing with two juvenile daughters in the middle of the street, in front of 4625 Tyler
Street. Tracey was very upset and stated, "I don't want random niggas in my crib ". Tracey said that his two
daughters, had boys inside of the house. Tracey said that he was upset about that and that the boys jumped
out of his house window and left. Tracey said that he wanted his phone back that M had. M stated that the
phone belonged to Ashley (Ashley Rose Simmons, DOB: 05/12/1990). I told Tracey that the phone belonged
to Ashley and he said, "She's right here on the phone!" Tracey handed me his phone (The caller ID stated
"Shorty "). I spoke with Ashley and she said that she wanted her phone back from M and that I should give it
to Tracey. I asked M for the phone and she gave me the phone. I then handed the phone to Tracey.
M then got upset and shouted, "Ok dad, keep playing with me, you know I can ruin your life! Watch!

Watch!" I then handed the phone back to Tracey with Ashley still on the line and he said, "Hello ?" I told
Tracey to call the police back if the boys came back to his residence and he didn't want them there.
Officers were aware of a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order between Ashley and Tracey, with Tracey being
the protected person.
Officer Farah then asked Tracey, "Where's Ashley at ?" and Tracey said, "She's in my house, why ?" Sergeant
Pletcher was to the west of 4625 Tyler Street and Tracey went up to him and asked what he was looking for.
Sergeant Pletcher then asked Tracey where Ashley was and he said, "She's at home!" Tracey got very upset
and stated that we were disrespecting him. Tracey then got on his cell phone again and said, "Hello? You
know that little, he got that little thing on his head." And then he began to yell on the phone, "I know, I know
you're not here, that's why I'm not worrying about it!" Tracey then walked to the doorway of his residence.
I asked M if she was going back inside of her residence and she said no and that she needed to get some
stuff. I asked M if Ashley was inside and she said, "I don't know. She's probably in his truck." Tracey then
said, "She ain't getting into my crib! "(Referring to M). M then yelled again, "Keep playing! Keep playing!
Keep playing with me dad because you know I can ruin your life!" Tracey then said, "Man, you ruined my
life anyway; get the fuck out of here!" M then asked if she could get her stuff and Tracey again said no. M
then said, "Keep playing dad, I'll go talk to that police officer right there! (Pointing at Sergeant Pletcher)"
Tracey then said, "You go talk to your best friend!" Tracey then shut the door. M then said, "You guys mine
as well go get Ashley then too, knowing damn well he's not supposed to be around her." I asked M if Ashley
was in the house and she said, "No, she's probably with his truck somewhere, at Dollar General probably."
Sergeant Pletcher then asked M if she needed to go back inside of the residence and she said that she wanted
to get different pants. Sergeant Pletcher informed M that Tracey couldn't lock her out of the house. Sergeant
Pletcher knocked on the door and rang the doorbell a couple of times. As we were waiting for Tracey to open
the door, Sergeant Pletcher said to M, "I'm sure Ashley's been here pretty much every day since that fight ?"
M then said, "No, he be over there, that's why he's not over here. So if you've been seeing the kids outside
and he's not here, that's because he's at Ashley's." Tracey then answered the door and began to argue and say
that we can't tell him what to do at his "crib ". Sergeant Pletcher kept his foot in the door, so M could go
inside and grab her things. Tracey continued to argue with Sergeant Pletcher. M then grabbed her stuff and
left the residence. As M was leaving, A came up to the residence. I asked A if she needed to get into the
residence and she said yes. A and M then went back into the residence and grabbed their things and then
walked out.
I informed Sergeant Pletcher that Tracey may be going to Ashley's mom's house to see Ashley in Fridley.
Sergeant Pletcher found her mom's address (5974 3rd Street NE #2, Fridley). Sergeant Pletcher said that it
was OK if I went by that address.
I drove my squad car and drove in front of the address (5974 3rd St) and I did not see anybody outside. As I
turned left onto 60th Avenue, I observed Tracey behind my squad car, driving an SUVS and pulling into the
driveway /parking lot for 5974 3rd Street. I drove around the block and drove by the address again. I
observed two females standing by the driver's side door (which was open) and talking with Tracey who was
sitting in the driver's seat. I recognized one of the females as Ashley. I observed that the kids were not by the
vehicle and were playing to the east of them, in the parking lot. I stopped my squad car in the
driveway /parking lot, activated my emergency lights, and got out of my squad car.
As I was getting out of my squad car, I yelled for Ashley to come talk to me and she said she wasn't apart of
anything and ran into the apartment building. I continued to yell for Ashley and I followed her into the
apartment building, walked down the steps, and stood in front of apartment number 2. I requested a Fridley
squad to assist and Sgt. Mork arrived moments later. The door to the apartment was open and that was where
Ashley's mom lives. I called for Ashley and she did not come out. Ashley's mom then walked inside and
went to the front part of the apartment and said that Ashley left out the front door. I did not hear a door open,
so I walked by the front door, and I could see Ashley hiding behind a chair. I told Ashley to stand up. Ashley
then asked why and began to cry. I told Ashley to stand up again and she stood up, but continued to cry and
say that she didn't do anything. I told Ashley to put her hands behind her back and she said, "Why do you
guys have to do this to me ?" Ashley continued to argue and ask what she did. Ashley said that it was her
mom's residence and that Tracey just pulled up to drop the kids off. I continued to tell Ashley to put her arms
behind her back and she continued to yell and cry. Eventually, Ashley put her hands behind her back and I
placed handcuffs on her. Ashley continued to cry and said that she did not want to go back to jail. Tracey
then walked into the residence and said that he was just dropping the kids off. I told Tracey to go outside,
which he did.
I confirmed the Domestic Abuse No Contact Order through Anoka County Dispatch. I requested a criminal
history through Anoka County Dispatch.
I asked Ashley if she wanted to take a taped statement and she said, "Why? It doesn't matter!" Ashley then
began to cry and yell again.
I transported Ashley to Anoka County Jail. I filled out the Anoka County Booking Sheet and marked the
offense as a Gross Misdemeanor. Enroute to jail, Ashley called me a bitch and a cunt and yelled at me about
various things.
I also wrote citation # 020417046688 for Misdemeanor DANCO Violation. I faxed all of the paperwork to
Anoka County Jail. Cleared by arrest.

Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On 7/16/17 at approximately 0020 hours, I, Sgt. Pletcher, was out with Officer M. Farah returning A to 4625
Tyler St NE #7 after she was found out after curfew. Approximately one hour prior, I observed three juvenile
males flee from me in the 4500 block of the alley between Tyler St NE and Polk St NE. This is the same area
I located A and her friend. While out at A's residence, I observed the same three males that fled prior walk
up towards the apartment complex in the alleyway. I immediately stopped them as they began walking away.
I immediately recognized the males from previous contacts as L, C, and E. L and C had been specifically
stopped out after curfew recently coming to or leaving from Tracey James' apartment listed above (17097458
and 17097487). And E was recently caught by his parents buying weed from Tracey at the listed apartment
(17097136). All parties denied they were coming to Tracey's apartment but none could give me an address to
where they were headed instead.
All juvenile males were detained while I attempted to contact their parents. Lora confirmed that the boys
were all staying at her residence and she was advised that the boys would need to be released to an adult
otherwise they would be going to Lino Lakes Juvenile Detention Center. Lora contacted an adult family
friend and had him meet police at the house and all three boys were released. C and L were both
disrespectful throughout the process. I completed Juvenile Contact Forms for all juvenile males charging
them with Violating Curfew.
I also request this report be forwarded to Anoka County Social Services for review.

was arrested for 2nd Degree Assault.
Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On July 24, 2017 at 2305hrs, I, Officer Monberg, was dispatched to the 4600 block of Tyler St NE for
multiple unidentified callers reporting a fight nearby. I arrived with Officers Scheevel, Hilden, and M. Farah,
and we could hear a commotion coming from the alley behind 4625/4633 Tyler St NE. As we approached
from the street, I could see about 25 -30 people in the courtyard, and most began briskly walking away in
different directions.
I encountered Tracy James and other males returning to 4625 Tyler St NE 47. James was loud and vulgar
about police being present. As I began to engage James verbally, I heard people yelling about somebody
having been stabbed. I found Lamar Hutton standing shirtless and leaning on a garbage can in the alley.
Another male, Melvin Nunn, was using a t -shirt to hold pressure on a wound to the left side of Hutton's
abdomen. Nunn briefly removed the shirt and I could see an approximately 1.5" long puncture wound that
had some type of flesh or organ protruding from inside.
Nunn continued to provide direct pressure while Allina paramedics responded. Hutton stated that he was not
sure who had stabbed him, and stated he did not realize he had been stabbed until someone pointed it out to
him. Nunn stated that he had not seen the incident but heard Hutton involved in a fight with another male.
Most individuals in the area were not forthcoming with information. One female, Ashley Simmons, did point
out a male to me and stated that she had witnessed that male stab Hutton while the two were fighting. The
825 41" Ave NE Columbia Heights, W55421 (763) 706 -8100 f.• (763) 706 -8126

male was detained by Officer Scheevel and identified as Darnell Williams. An open, bloody folding knife
was located near Williams, and he was found to have blood stains on his shirt and shorts. The knife, shirt,
and shorts were later collected by other officers as evidence.
Hutton stated that he had been involved in a physical altercation with Williams, but initially adamantly stated
that Williams had not been the one who stabbed him. Paramedics arrived and dressed Hutton's would before
transport. I did not have an opportunity to obtain a photograph of the wound before it was dressed, but it
should be visible on body camera video.
I spoke with Hutton briefly in the ambulance before he was transported, and he now stated that he believed
Williams had stabbed him during their fight because two other people told him they witnessed him do it.
Hutton was transported to Hospital for treatment. I responded as well, and learned that Hutton would be
receiving a CT scan and then would be taken for surgery.
After Hutton's CT scan, it was apparent that Hutton had been given some type of sedative medication, as he
was barely able to speak or open his eyes. In an audio - recorded statement, Hutton did tell me that he had
become involved in the fight with Williams, and that three SUVs of males then arrived to help Williams in
the fight. Hutton was not clear about how the fight had started, and also told me that he would be able to
provide a better statement after his drugs wore off. Hutton signed a medical records release waiver before he
appeared to be under the influence of the medications.
I learned that other officers had spoken to witnesses and had arrested Williams for 2nd Degree Assault. See
supplements for details.
Request complaint charging Darnell Williams with 2nd Degree Assault.
Forwarded to investigations for charging.
Monberg, William HPD00024
- A bald, dark skin black male (Lamar's friend who lives at 4625 or 4633 Tyler Street) had a gun, cocked it,
and pointed it at Darnell and Darnell's brother. Darnell and his brother then ran around his parked vehicle to
get away from him. X said that someone then yelled police, so the male ran back inside with his gun. X
believed that Darnell or his brother would have been shot if police did not arrive when they did
- X was too afraid to give the name of the person with the gun
The entire taped statement was uploaded into evidence.
Incident recorded on my Taser body camera.
Nothing further.
Wood, Tabitha HPD00052
FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
Officer Monberg followed Lamar Hutton to Hospital to take a statement. Officers took statements from all
witnesses and Officer Ibrahim Farah took a statement from Darnell before transporting him to ACSO Jail on
2nd Degree Assault Charges.
During this incident, Tracey James and Ashley Simmons were in the courtyard swearing and yelling at
police. They were also yelling for people to stop talking to the police. I advised both Tracey and Ashley
multiple times to stop talking or they would be arrested. After continuing to swear at police officers for
several more minutes, Tracey went into his apartment, 4625 Tyler St NE #7, and Ashley stayed outside but
stopped interfering. Several people in the area stated that a bald black male, matching Tracey's physical,
pulled out a black handgun on Darnell and his brother just prior to police arriving, but the witnesses refused
to confirm if it was Tracey. Previous reports state that Tracey does own a handgun even though he is a
convicted felon. At this time, Officers are unsure if there was a handgun used and who the alleged suspect is
who brandished it.

Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On August 13, 2017 at 1826hrs, I, Officer Monberg, was dispatched to the 4600 block of Tyler St NE for a
complaint of loud music disturbing. I arrived with Sgt Museus and could hear music coming from the
courtyard of 4625 Tyler St NE. I recognized the male responsible for the music as Tracey James of
apartment 7. The music was at a level that was not necessarily unreasonable for the time of day, and officers
made contact with James to advise him of the complaint. James was not receptive to any suggestions
regarding the music.
As we were leaving, I observed Ashley Simmons exit James' apartment. I was familiar with Simmons and
am aware of a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order in which James is the protected person and Simmons is the
Respondent. Believing that a confrontation would occur when arresting Simmons, Sgt Museus and I decided
to have the order confirmed prior to enforcing it. Dispatch confirmed the Anoka County DANCO (court file
number 02- CR -17- 3240), which was issued on May 30, 2017 and is valid until May 29, 2018.
While confirming the order, Officer Scheevel observed Simmons go into James' apartment and close the
door. We approached James and two other males outside, and James became verbally uncooperative.
Refusing to allow Officer Scheevel to even knock on the door. Several times, James told those inside the
apartment to not open the door and to keep it locked. Officers cleared the scene when it was clear we would

I had dispatch enter a KOPS alert on Simmons, requesting she be picked up and held for the DANCO
violation. Simmons' criminal history does not show any qualified domestic violence - related convictions.

On 8/27/17 at about 0330 hours, I, Officer M. Farah was on a routine patrol going westbound on 46th Ave
from Taylor St. I saw vehicle that was parked on 46th Ave from Central Ave facing eastbound with its
parking lights on. As soon as the vehicle saw my squad car, the vehicle turned its headlights on and went
northbound on Tyler St from 46th Ave. The vehicle then parked on the shoulder, east -side on Tyler St. I
drove by the vehicle and noticed all its lights were off. Shortly after that, I saw the black male who walked
past me earlier get into the vehicle. The vehicle then pulled out and drove northbound on Tyler St. The
vehicle then went westbound 47th Ave towards Central Ave without signaling. I caught up with the vehicle
going southbound Central Ave from 47th Ave. As I was following the vehicle, the vehicle went eastbound
on 44th Ave from Central Ave. I made a traffic stop on the vehicle at the 4400 block Central Ave.

I made contact with the driver, identified as WILLIAMS- TOLBERT, PATRICK. I asked Patrick for his
driver license and his proof of insurance. Patrick informed me that he doesn't have a driver license and can't
find the insurance. Patrick identified himself to me with his Minnesota ID. I advised Patrick my reason for
stopping him. I also noticed another male who was sitting in the front passenger of the vehicle who appeared
to be juvenile. The male verbally identified himself to me as M, which I confirmed him to be a juvenile. I
then noticed the back passenger wasn't wearing his seat belt. I recognized the male from earlier encounter
when I saw him walking out from the courtyard of 4625 Tyler St. The male verbally identified himself to me
as, Rhodes, Damone Marcel. As I was gathering information, I could smell a strong odor of marijuana
emanating from the vehicle.
I went back to my squad card and ran all individuals names through my MDT. I was able to positively ID'd
Damone via MRAP with his previous booking photos. I also positively ID'd M on DVS.
Shortly after that Officer I. Farah arrived and assists me. I informed Officer I. Farah about the odor of the
marijuana that was coming from the vehicle and told him that I was going to search the vehicle.
Both Officer I. Farah and I approached the vehicle. I asked Patrick about the marijuana odor that was coming
from the vehicle. He stated that he smoked small joint earlier in the car and don't have anything left. I asked
him if I could search the vehicle which he agreed to. Prior to searching the vehicle, I asked Patrick if there
were any drugs or weapons in the vehicle, Patrick stated no. I then removed Damone from the vehicle who
was sitting in the back. As I began to pat him down for weapons, I felt on the left side of his jacket a plastic
baggie. I asked Damone what was it and he stated he didn't know. He said that the jacket wasn't his. I
removed the plastic bag from Damone's jacket. The plastic bag was wrapped around and could right away
smell strong odor marijuana. Inside the bag, there were small individually packaged baggies of marijuana
which totaled 18 baggies. I asked Damon where he got the marijuana but Damone continued to insist that the
jacket he had on wasn't his. He said that he quickly grabbed the jacket from his apartment. Damone's stated
that he was staying at 4625 Tyler St. 97. which 1 recognized to be Tracey James' apartment. 1 handcuffed
Damone and put him into my squad car. I then searched the vehicle and wasn't able to find anything more.
Officer 1. Farah called M's brother Jihad and later dropped M at home.
I completed a tow sheet and shortly after that, the tow truck arrived. As I was about to give the tow truck
driver the tow sheet, Patrick fled the scene in the vehicle. I still had my emergency lights on and Patrick
wasn't free to leave. Officers didn't pursue Patrick since I already ID'd him.
I issued Damon citation number 020417100102 charging him with Possess Over 1.4 Grams Marijuana In
Motor Vehicle. I faxed the citation and the 102 form to jail and requested Damone to be released. I also
advised jail to inform Damone that he can pick up his money from our department on our normal hours of
business. [DTF:ekp]

CASE SUMMARY: Stopped the listed vehicle for excively honking, Arrest the driver for 5th Degree Control

Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On 11/4/17 at about 0108 hours, I was parked on the 4600 block of Tyler St facing northbound. I heard a
vehicle coming from my rear and appeared to be honking at another vehicle with occupants that was stopped
midblock of Tyler St. I observed the honking vehicle was a Buick Century with Minnesota license plate
#984MVB. The vehicle continued to honk repeatedly as it continued northbound on 4600 block of Tyler St.
Honking a horn repeatedly at 0108 hours with no traffic- related purpose is an unnecessary noise and
violation of Columbia Heights Ordinance 8.204(D). I followed the vehicle and stopped it in the 1000 block
of 47th Ave.
I made contact with the driver, who I identified as Anthony Jr. Jefferson. I explained to Jefferson my reason
for stopping him. As I was talking to him, I could clearly see a plastic bag inside Jefferson's mouth and am
825 41" Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (763) 706 -8100 f (763) 706 -8126
www.chpolice.com
aware from training and experience that narcotics are often packaged in plastic baggies. At this time I asked
Jefferson to turn off the vehicle. I asked Jefferson multiple times to spit out the bag, Jefferson ultimately
gave the bag to me. I observed the bag contained a white substance that I recognized from training and
experience to be suspected crack cocaine. Officer Wood arrived at my stop to assist me. I told Jefferson to
step out of the vehicle. Jefferson started the vehicle and attempt to put it gear. I reached in the vehicle and
grabbed the gear and told Jefferson to turn off the vehicle. Jefferson ultimately listen and turn off the vehicle.
I removed Jefferson from the vehicle and placed him into custody. Sgt. Pletcher and Officer Monberg
arrived to assist us.
I conducted a field test on the substance from the baggy and it came back positive for crack cocaine.
Jefferson was unable to provide me with insurance for the vehicle he was operating. A check of Minnesota
Driver and Vehicle Services records revealed that Jefferson has a Revoked Driver's License. Officer Wood
completed a booking sheet for Jefferson. She also completed a tow sheet for the vehicle and it was towed to
JBS impound lot. I later weighed the substance with baggy at the Columbia Heights Police Station and it
weighted 7.4 grams. I completed evidence sheet and LAP forms for the Crack Cocaine and placed into
CHPD evidence locker. I also took a picture prior to placing into the locker. I placed the copy of all my
paper work in- custody. I request my report to be forwarded to DTF.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On 1115117 after I had submitted my report I learned that I had forgot to mention two passengers that were in
the vehicle, identified as MICKEY, SHAHEIM and HUTTON, LAMAR. Shaheim stated that he got picked
up at his apartment, 4633 Tyler St NE #4, by Anthony. Shaheim stated that after he was done hanging with
Anthony at the bar he was getting dropped off back to his apartment. This was recorded on officers' taxer
body cameras.
After we had searched both parties, we didn't find any other drugs. I also searched the vehicle and didn't find
any other drugs.
I later learned that Lamar was not supposed to be within one mile of 4633 Tyler St NE as he was a
respondent on OFP filed by Walker, Rose. Rose lives at 4633 Tyler St #3. I've attached a copy of the OFP
below on my report. KOPS alert was entered via dispatch for Lamar for violating the OFP.
I also request a warrant complaint fort Lamar with a gross misdemeanor OFT violation if he is not located
with 72 hours.
Forward for possible conduct on licensed premise violations.

ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On 9 -7 -16 at 0000 hours, I was dispatched to the 4600 block of Tyler St NE for males arguing.
Officers arrived and males scattered towards 4633 Tyler St NE. I spoke with a male, later identified as Lloyd
Lee, at 4634 Tyler St NE. Lloyd denied hearing any arguing or taking part in any arguing. I had driven by a
few minutes prior and saw him outside in the street and talking loudly towards another male identified as
Lamar Hutton.
I spoke with Lamar outside of 4633 Tyler St #3 and he was very verbally uncooperative. Lamar denied
anything and said we were harassing him. The female that resides in #3 is Rose Walker. Rose told Sgt.
Pletcher that Lamar was arguing with Lloyd. Officers told them to go inside and stay quiet.
Officers sat in squad cars down the street and could still hear Lamar talking loud outside. Lamar and Lloyd
were given blue cards and advised them of the noise ordinance. They were advised if we were called back
that they would be cited.
4634 Tyler St NE #202 and 4633 Tyler St #3 were both in violation of the conduct on license premise
ordinance.

Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On 12/14/16 at approximately 2039 hours, Officer Aish and I were dispatched to 4633 Tyler St #3 reference
an unwanted male.
Upon our arrival, the complainant Rose Walker stated that she wanted the father of her children trespassed
from the property. Rose said that the children's father, Lamar Hutton had been causing problems at the
residence. Rose told Officer Aish that Lamar did not live at the residence and was not on the lease.
We checked the area for Lamar, and were unable to locate him. We then cleared the scene.
At approximately 2108 hours, we were dispatched back to the address as Rose told dispatch that Lamar was
currently at the back door of the residence trying to get in. Upon our arrival, we checked the area but were
again unable to Lamar. Rose described Lamar as wearing a black coat, black pants and a white thermal t-
shirt underneath the coat. Rose said that Lamar had several friends in the block and he was probably still in
the area.
I then stayed in the area and conducted extra patrol. At approximately 2127 hours, I observed a male
matching the description provided by Rose who was knocking on the back door of Rose's apartment. As I
parked my vehicle and approached Lamar, he walked into the back door of apartment #2 at 4633 Tyler.
While I was trying to make contact with Rose, I observed Lamar, who had come out the front door of
apartment #2, walk across the street towards 4634 Tyler.

Lamar was trying to get into the secured entrance at 4634 Tyler St. Lamar looked at me and I told him to
stop. Lamar refused to follow my directions and was buzzed into the building. I observed Lamar go into the
upstairs portion of the building, but I was unable to see which apartment he went into.
Officer Aish arrived on scene to assist. We found that Lamar was in apartment #203. Lamar was positively
identified via his Minnesota DL. We advised Lamar that he was not welcome back at Rose's apartment, and
that if he went back over there he could be arrested for trespassing.
Lamar became very upset and started yelling profanities at us while we were standing in the hallway. We
again told Lamar that he could not go back over to Rose's residence.
We then cleared the scene.

CASE SUMMARY: Adult male arrested for Interference with 911 Call and 5th Degree Assault.
Narratives
ORIGINAL OFFICER NARRATIVE
On May 29, 2017, at 1754hrs, I, Officer Monberg, was dispatched to 4634 Tyler St NE #204 for a caller
reporting a known male, Lamar Hutton, had forced his way into her apartment. Dispatch could hear Hutton
yelling in the background, and then advised that Hutton had told the caller he was going to his home across the
street to retrieve his gun.
Officers arrived and located Hutton outside his home at 4633 Tyler St NE 43. Hutton was verbally belligerent,
vulgar, and uncooperative. After several attempts to discuss the incident and what Hutton's role may have been,
he continued with his loud and vulgar outburst. Sgt Pletcher and I detained Hutton in handcuffs and he refused to
sit on a concrete step, so we escorted him to my squad. I conducted a pat down search for weapons before
detaining Hutton in the squad.
I remained with Hutton while Officer Farah and Sgt Pletcher met with the caller, Joni Kanowitz. While in the
squad, Hutton continued to yell and swear about not having done anything wrong and beating charges in the past.
Sgt Pletcher advised that after speaking with Kanowitz, Hutton should be booked for Interfere with 911 Call and
5th Degree Assault.
After calming down for a short time, Hutton became very belligerent and abrasive once again. Hutton stated that
825 41" Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (763) 706 -8100 f.• (763) 706 -8126
www.chpolice.com
he wanted to provide an audio recorded, post - Miranda statement, but repeatedly interrupted me while I attempted
to advise him of his Miranda rights. After being unable to advise him of his rights, I ended the statement.
While en route to jail, Hutton made several utterances that seemed to be related to this incident. He stated that
Joni is a crackhead and that she owed him $20. He also made a comment that he had been in her apartment, but
that he encouraged her to call 911 and did not interfere with the call.
Once arriving at the jail, I conducted a full custodial search of Hutton. Inside the watch pocket of his jeans, I
located a folded -up bus transfer pass. Upon opening the pass, I found that it contained a white powdery substance
that appeared to be cocaine. A detention deputy also found that a $100 bill in Hutton's pocket was obviously
counterfeit.
I retained the suspected narcotics and the counterfeit bill and returned to the CHPD office. The counterfeit bill
has pink printed foreign writing on the front that would not likely be accepted by any person or business as
legitimate. It did not appear that probable cause exists that Hutton intended to defraud with the bill.
The powdery substance did not test positive for cocaine or methamphetamine. There is a recent CHPD report
(ICR 17098059) in which Hutton was accused of selling drywall crumbles as crack cocaine. Sgt Pletcher directed
me to have the substance tested; a lab request form is attached to this report. I did not weigh the small amount of
powder to avoid losing any.
See Sgt Pletcher's supplement for details.
Forwarded to investigations for charging.

FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On May 29th, 2017 at approximately 1755 hours, Officer Monberg and 1, Sgt Pletcher, were dispatched to 4634
Tyler St NE 4204 on a report of a named Lamar Hutton barging into the caller's apartment and threatening her.
Officers are aware of Lamar from several previous contacts and know he lives at 4633 Tyler St NE #3. Officers
arrived and went to Lamar's apartment, after we were updated that he left the caller's apartment. I made contact
with woman inside the apartment who initially tried to lie to police by saying Lamar wasn't inside that that he
may be in back. I advised the female that I needed to talk to him because he apparently just told a neighbor that
he was going to get a gun, at which point Lamar came yelling from the back denying any knowledge of a gun.
Lamar came outside and was immediately aggressive and belligerent towards me. Lamar was screaming at me,
calling me a liar and other names, and when I attempted to ask him about what occurred, he just continued to
yell, stating that he was in the apartment when Joni called the police and she didn't say he had a gun and that she
owed him money. Lamar was clearly intoxicated but he refused to follow simple commands and became
increasingly agitated. Officer Monberg and I detained Lamar after he attempted to walk away from us. We
escorted Lamar to the squad car, as he yelled and cussed loudly for the whole neighborhood to hear. We sat
Lamar down in the squad and Officer Monberg stayed with him while I went to make contact with the victim.
I made contact with Joni Kanowitz at the listed address and she stated the following. She was in the back
bedroom when someone knocked on her door. Her temporary roommate "Luscious" opened the door and let
Lamar in. Lamar started storming to the back of the apartment towards Joni, at which point she stopped him and
asked him what he was doing. Lamar stated that he was using the bathroom and when Joni told him to leave and
use his own across the street, Lamar became verbally aggressive towards her, calling her a bitch and stating that
the apartment didn't belong to her. Joni stated that Lamar got increasingly angry at her, yelling at her about
money she owed him, and threatening to hurt her. Joni stated that she went to call 911, and as she did, Lamar
slapped the phone out of her hand, causing the call to 911 to end. Joni stated that 911 called her back and she
advised them of the incident, and Lamar was still in the apartment threatening to hurt her, and making gun -
shooting motions with his hands pointed at her. I asked Joni if she felt threatened and if she believed that Lamar
was going to hurt her and she stated that she did. Joni stated that she has never seen Lamar with a gun and didn't
know if he owned one. Joni was visibly upset and wanted Lamar to go to jail. I took a recorded statement from
Joni and uploaded it onto evidence.com. I also called dispatch to confirm that Joni's initial call was ended and
that dispatch called her back, which they confirmed. I later ordered the audio from the 911 call. This incident was
also recorded by my Taser body camera.
I advised Officer Monberg of the victim's statement and Lamar was transported to ACSO Jail for Assault and
Interfering with a 911 call.

intoxicated and had an open bottle on him. Lamar stated that he came to see his kids and get a $250 he
loaned to Rose. Throughout the entire time talking to Lamar, he was verbally aggressive and belligerent
toward us.
Rose informed us that Lamar doesn't live with her and requested him to be removed. Lamar also told us that
he doesn't live with Rosa but came to get his money from her. Rosa denied ever getting money from Lamar.
We advised Lamar that there was nothing we can do since it was civil issue.
We give Rosa a blue card with case number for her reference. We also explain to her the process of getting

Rose informed us she understood.
We told Lamar to leave from the property but he was still belligerent toward us. Lamar ultimately left on his
own.

On 6 -16 -17 at 1710 hours, I, Officer Hilden, was flagged down in the 4700 block of Grand Ave by a
passerby. The passerby told me that people were about to fight in the 4600 block of Tyler St NE.
I drove down there along with Officer Scheevel and observed a female in the street yelling towards people
near 4633 Tyler St NE. I made contact and she stated that her sister was in an argument with her baby's
father and that she came her to help her. I identified her sister, Rose Walker, in the back seat of a vehicle.
She was crying and appeared upset.
Rose stated that she was inside her apartment (4633 Tyler #3) along with her baby's father, Lamar Hutton.
She stated that he wanted to take their kids but she didn't want him too so they got into an argument. Rose
said that Lamar broke her phone (I did notice the screen was cracked). Rose also said that Lamar pushed her
forehead with his open palm.
Officer Scheevel and Officer Pregler spoke with Lamar Hutton and others that were with him. See Officer
Scheevel's supplement for details. I learned from them that Rose's sisters were the aggressors and yelling and
threatening Lamar and others.
Everyone's story was inconsistent of each other and there was no physical evidence of any assault. Officers
made sure that all parties were separated. Rose said that she was going on Thursday to file for a restraining
order against Lamar. It should be noted as well that Lamar has been staying with Rose at 4633 Tyler St NE
#3 for a while.

On 6/16/17 Officer Hilden aired to dispatch that he was flagged down near 47th/Tyler and was advised that
there was possibly a fight in the 4600 Block of Tyler St.
I arrived in the area and observed numerous people yelling at each other in the court yard between 4625
Tyler and 4633 Tyler. There was also a female standing in the road yelling at people.
I contacted a male I know from previous contact as Lamar Hutton. Lamar was standing in the courtyard
yelling. Lamar stated that he had been watching his children inside of the apartment at 4633 Tyler St #3.
Lamar said that he and a female he identified as "Rose" have several children together and she asked him to
come over to watch the kids.
Lamar said that Rose's sister then showed up and pulled him out of the apartment and started yelling at him.
Lamar said that Rose's sister was accusing him of assaulting Rose. Lamar said that he never touched Rose
and that she had asked him to come over to watch the kids.
I then spoke with a female on scene verbally identified as Annie McElroy. Annie said that she observed
Lamar and the female who was pointed out as Rose's sister yelling at each other in the courtyard. Annie said
that she did not observe any physical altercation between anyone, but that Rose's sister was the aggressor in
the incident as she was the one who was yelling at Lamar.
We stayed on scene until all of the involved parties separated and left.
We then cleared the scene.

doors and looking to the area behind 4634 Tyler.
We located the disputing parties behind 4634 Tyler St. The male half was identified as Lamar Hutton, the
female half was identified as Rose Walker. Rose was upset because she believes Lamar pawned their son's
Play Station 4.
Rose told me she left the house to begin the OFP process with Lamar. Rose said she came home, the back
door to her apartment was busted, she believed by Lamar.
Lamar told us he took the train from Big Lake to Columbia Heights to see their children and was planning to
return to Big Lake tonight. Lamar told me he has not been in the house, he has no idea where the Play
Station 4 would be. Lamar told me the last item he pawned was a television set that he pawned for Rose at
Max It Pawn. No Pawn receipt was found in Lamar's pockets or papers that he willingly removed from his
clothing.
Rose told us Lamar has not been in the apartment for a few months, she did show Sgt. Museus the back door,
the window that does not secure, table, the area where the Play Station 4 was, only the remote was left. Rose
had the serial number for the Play Station 4, that information is included with this report.

on the call stated that a suspect "Lamar Hutton" was across the street from the caller /victim residence. I
instantly, recognized the suspect's name "Lamar Hutton" from multiple prior contacts. I was able to pull up
the suspect's fully identity on DVS website as a Lamar Michael Hutton. I ran Lamar for possible warrants,
and confirmed the OFP on file. I noticed the caller /victim, Rose Walker was the petitioner and Lamar was
the defendant.
Upon my arrival, I noticed Lamar ran across Tyler St and was directly behind Rose's residence (4633 Tyler
St). I parked my squad in the alley behind 4654 Tyler St NE and ran towards Lamar. At that moment, Lamar
was unaware of my presence. I announced my presence and told Lamar to stop. Lamar was very cooperative
and immediately stopped. Based on the OFP on file and Lamar's proximity to the caller's address, I made a
decision to arrest him for OFP violation.
I advised Lamar to turn around and put his hands behind his back. Lamar said "for what? I didn't do
anything ". Lamar said "this ain't their property" and repeatedly assured me that he was off "their property ".
Lamar said he was aware of the order for protection and that's why he was off "their property ". Lamar said
he knew he was banned from 4633 Tyler St NE repeatedly. Lamar was taken into custody without a
problem. I placed Lamar in handcuffs, checked for tightness, double locked and escorted him to my squad
car.
I had Officer Urbaniak stay with Lamar until I gathered additional information from Rose. I went to Rose's
residence (4633 Tyler St #Unit 3) and made contact with her. Rose appeared very frustrated and over-
whelmed about what was going on. I asked Rose if she has court document regarding OFP on file. Rose
handed me Anoka county Emergency (Ex Parte) domestic abuse case filed under 02 -FA -17 -1094. I reviewed
825 41st Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (763) 706 -8100 f.• (763) 706 -8126
www.chpolice.com
emergency (Ex -Pane) domestic abuse file and later confirmed it with Anoka County Communication Center
(Dispatch).
Per court document, Lamar must not have any contacts with Rose, whether in person, or through other
person, by telephone, mail, E -mail, electronic devices, and or social media. I also reviewed Rose's incoming
text messages from " Lamar's" account under 612 -558 -2520 telephone number. I observed multiple text
messages where Rose asked Lamar to leave her alone. I took pictures (screen shots) of incoming/outgoing
text messages between Rose and Lamar. I read Lamar's text message to Rose stating "Let me kiss yo fat
pussy" and Rose's response was "Stop ". The last received text message from Lamar was today (07/12/2017)
at 1828 hours. Lamar kept the conversion going by stating "I will, I will never, love no body like you. am
happy for you" and Rose responded by saying "no you not" at 1832 hours today (07/12/2017). Pictures of
text messages, and court document was later uploaded to my upload folder (Per Rose, orange text messages
were from her and white /clear ones were Lamar's).
I noticed Rose appeared extremely frustrated and was uncooperative. According to Rose we (CHPD) officers
were not doing our jobs because, Lamar was stilling harassing her. I asked Rose if she was willing to give
me a recorded statement and she refused.
I returned to my squad car and asked Lamar if he was willing to give me a recorded statement. Lamar got
extremely agitated and refused to give me his side of the story. I requested Columbia Heights CSO for a
transport. Officer Urbaniak pulled Lamar's criminal history via Channel 3. Based on Lamar's criminal
history, I charged him with gross misdemeanor for violation. Per Lamar's criminal history he was convicted
for domestic assault on 03/30/2011 (court file # CR108592).
Domestic abuse notification form was filled out and left at jail.
Lamar was transported to Anoka county jail.
Lamar's criminal history was placed in in- custody mail box.

FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On 07/18/2017 at approximately 1100 hours, I Officer Huebner, followed up with Angela, an Alexandra
House advocate regarding Rose Walker's status on obtaining a permanent Order For Protection against
Lamar Hutton. I learned that Rose did not appear for her court date, but Lamar did show up. I was advised
that the Ex Parte and any other Orders against Lamar concerning Rose Walker were dismissed. Rose did not
appear to her first court date regarding the issue, yet the Judge saw fit to continue the case until today to give
Rose another chance. Rose again did not show. I had been working with Alexandra House to provide
transportation to court for Rose, among other assistance such as help with obtaining the OFP. Alexandra
House stated that Rose did not return their calls, and they were not able to assist her because of that.

Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
This incident is directly related to stabbing incident 17169111 where Darnell Williams was arrested for
stabbing Lamar Hutton during a fight on July 24, 2017 at 2305 hours. Initial reports to police indicated that a
third male was at the scene pointing a handgun. On July 25, 2017 while investigating that incident, I Sgt.
Markham learned that Williams' brother was at the scene during the fight. Williams' brother was identified as
Lamont Cunnin ham by officers on scene. Witness X picked Cunningham out of MRAP lineup number
as the male pointing a handgun at the crowd trying to break up the fight between
Williams and Hutton. X indicated that Cunningham pulled the gun out after Hutton was stabbed by
Williams.
I had a criminal history check run on Cunningham. Cunningham has been arrested for attempted murder in
1996 and convicted of 2nd Degree Assault. Cunningham was convicted of aggravated robbery from a 1997
case, Cunningham is not entitled to possess firearms per his criminal history. Cunningham was convicted of
possessing a pistol /assault weapon by ineligible person in 2006.
A records browser check showed that Cunningham lives with Lanell Coleman at 4703 5th Street NE in

Columbia Heights. Coleman applied for and received a Minnesota State Permit to Acquire Handguns From
Federal Firearms Dealer from the Columbia Heights Police Department on April 25, 2017.
A DVS check showed that Cunningham does not have any vehicles registered to him, but Coleman has five
vehicles registered to her. The vehicles are:

1987 Ford Econoline Van MN plate number
1996 X Plymouth Voyager MN plate number
2001 Gold GMC Yukon MN plate number
2004 X Kia Sedona MN plate number

that are current and can be seen parked at the residence.
A search warrant for Cunningham's residence is being drafted by Officer Scheevel.
Investigation continues.
Markham, Matt HPD00023
FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On 07/25/2017 at 1357 hours I, Officer Huebner, administered a photo line -up to a witness of the incident, X
at the Columbia Heights Police Department. Sgt Markham had prepared the photo line -up. I had never seen
any of the photographs, and I did not know who the suspected person was or what they looked like. I read
the instructions to the photo line up to X, and she initialed at the bottom of the page stating that she
understood the instructions.
I then administered the photo lineup consisting of six photographs, individually concealed in separate
folders. I handed X Photo #1. X looked at the photo, and set it back down on the table. I handed X Photo 42.
She looked at the photo, and placed the folder back on the table on top of Photo #1. 1 handed X Photo #3. X
looked at the photograph, and set it down on the table in its own separate pile. I handed her photo #4. She
looked at the photo and placed it on the table in the pile with photos 1 and 2. I handed her Photo 45. She
looked at the photo, and placed that in the pile with the others as well. I handed her Photo #6. She looked at
the photo, and placed it in the pile with all the other photos except for #3. X again looked at #3, and then
looked at the rest of them again as well. X stated to me that she recognized Photo #3 as the male that had the
gun during the incident.
X then completed the photo line -up form, stating in writing that she chose Photo #3 as the suspect that had
the gun the night of the incident. X signed and dated the form, as well at the photo that she chose.
The line -up was recorded on Sgt Markham's digital recorder, and my Axon body cam.

FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On August 1, 2017 at 0445 hours, I assisted in executing a search warrant at 4703 5th Street. ACSO SWAT
cleared the residence and secured suspect Lamont Cunningham, Lanell Coleman and approximately six
children were in the home at the time of the warrant. Cunningham was turned over to Officer Bonesteel and
driven to the office. Officer Scheevel wrote the warrant. Officer Hilden and Investigator Noll also assisted
on the warrant. The home, garage and GMC Yukon MN plate number - were searched. No firearms
were located. Officer Scheevel did find a small amount of marijuana in Cunningham's bedroom. Officer
Scheevel completed the receipt, inventory and return form. I left a copy of the search warrant with Coleman.
Officers Scheevel and Hilden had their body cameras recording during the search.
SWAT breached the front door upon entry and the front door to the residence was now damaged.
While speaking with Coleman at the residence, she said she dropped Cunningham off and picked him up in
her GMC Yukon the night of the stabbing. Coleman said that she parked in the McDonald's parking lot.
Coleman said she obtained a permit to purchase, but did not ever buy a gun. I reminded her that she could
not have a firearm in the house with Cunningham. Coleman said she nor Cunningham had a gun the night of
the stabbing.
I returned to the office and took a recorded post Miranda statement from Cunningham. Cunningham said that
he and Williams have the same father. Cunningham said that Williams contacted him through Facebook
messenger the night of the incident via video calling. Cunningham said that he does not see Williams much,
but went over to Tyler Street to get Williams, because Williams said Hutton was causing problems.
Cunningham said that he never had a gun and has not had one for years. Cunningham said that Coleman
drove him to Tyler Street and they parked at McDonald's. Cunningham said that the guy with the gun was in
the alley when police arrived and ran away with others. Cunningham said that he never had time to get rid of
anything, because the police quickly arrived. Cunningham gave me permission to look at his cell phone.
Cunningham said that the only way he communicates with his brother is through Facebook messenger. I
confirmed that they exchanged video messages the night of the stabbing and they had no text messages
stored in his phone. The videos could not be watched.
I uploaded the statement.
I canceled the CISA and KOPS alert I had put out on Cunningham on July 28, 2017 at 1539 hours.
Due to no firearm being found and conflicted statements, I released Cunningham.
Case inactive.
Markham, Matt HPD00023
FOLLOW -UP INVESTIGATION
On 7/28/17 at approximately 1230 hours, I Officer Scheevel reviewed the reports regarding this case. I
completed an application for a search warrant for Lamont's residence, associated vehicles and his person. I
requested a no -knock nighttime search warrant due to the severity of the crime and Lamont's criminal
history.
The warrant was sent to County Attorney Young who approved the warrant. At approximately 1420 hours, I
submitted the search warrant application via e- charging, to the Honorable Judge Barry Sullivan. At
approximately 1428 hours, I received the electronically signed search warrant from Judge Sullivan. Sgt.
Markham contacted the Anoka County Sheriffs Office SWAT Commander to have them assist with the
search warrant.
On 08/01/17 at approximately 0430 hours, Sgt. Markham, Officer Hilden and I met with the Anoka County
Sheriffs Office SWAT Team. At approximately 0445 hours SWAT Operators were able to secure the
premises without incident. Lamont was detained and transported to the Columbia Heights Police Department
to be interviewed. Investigator Noll arrived on scene to assist with the search.
Lanell was home at the time of the search warrant, along with several of her children. In one of the upstairs
bedrooms where Lamont was originally located, I found a lock box on top of the dresser. Inside of the lock
box, I located the following items;
1) glass marijuana pipe
2) W2 with Lamont's name on it
3) 1.211 grams of suspected marijuana
4) 3.166 grams of suspected marijuana
5) 2.024 grams of x pills in plastic packaging(later found to be trazadone hydrochloride)
We searched the residence, garage and one of the vehicles. We did not locate any of the items listed on the
search warrant. Sgt. Markham advised me to seize the narcotics and paraphernalia. I completed and left a
receipt, inventory and return for the above seized items. The receipt was left with Lanell.
Upon our arrival at Heights base I tested and weighed the suspected marijuana. Both items of suspected
marijuana tested positive for marijuana using a NIK kit. Using a pill identification website I found that the x
pills in the plastic bag were trazadone hydrochloride (nonscheduled). The trazadone hydrochloride weighed
2.024 grams. I placed all of the seized items into evidence and completed a property sheet.
Sgt. Markham interviewed Lamont at Heights base. After the interview, Lamont was released from custody
and Officer Nightingale transported him back to his house.
On 8/2/17 1 had the receipt, inventory and return notarized at Heights base. I turned the receipt over to Sgt.
Markham to be e- filed. I then placed a copy of the search warrant and receipt inventory and return in with
my daily paperwork.

Narratives
Original Officer Narrative
On 11/4/17 at about 0108 hours, I was parked on the 4600 block of Tyler St facing northbound. I heard a
vehicle coming from my rear and appeared to be honking at another vehicle with occupants that was stopped
midblock of "Tyler St. I observed the honking vehicle was a Buick Century with Minnesota license plate
#984MVB. The vehicle continued to honk repeatedly as it continued northbound on 4600 block of Tyler St.
Honking a horn repeatedly at 0108 hours with no traffic- related purpose is an unnecessary noise and
violation of Columbia Heights Ordinance 8.204(D). I followed the vehicle and stopped it in the 1000 block
of 47th Ave.
I made contact with the driver, who I identified as Anthony Jr. Jefferson. I explained to Jefferson my reason
for stopping him. As I was talking to him, I could clearly see a plastic bag inside Jefferson's mouth and am
aware from training and experience that narcotics are often packaged in plastic baggies At this time I asked
Jefferson to turn off the vehicle. I asked Jefferson multiple times to spit out the bag; Jefferson ultimately
gave the bag to me. I observed the bag contained a white substance that I recognized from training and

experience to be suspected crack cocaine. Officer Wood arrived at my Stop to assist me. I told Jefferson to
step out of the vehicle. Jefferson started the vehicle and attempt to put it gear. I reached in the vehicle and
grabbed the gear and told Jefferson to turn off the vehicle. Jefferson ultimately listen and turn off the vehicle.
I removed Jefferson from the vehicle and placed him into custody. Sgt. Pletcher and Officer Monberg
arrived to assist us.
I conducted a field test on the substance from the baggy and it carne back positive for crack cocaine.
Jefferson was unable to provide me with insurance for the vehicle he was operating. A. check of Minnesota
Driver and Vehicle Services records revealed that Jefferson has a Revolted Driver's License. Officer Wood
completed a booking sheet for Jefferson. She also completed a tow sheet for the vehicle and it rues towed to
JBS impound lot. I later weighed the substance with baggy at the Columbia Heights Police Station and it
weighted 7.4 grams. I completed evidence sheet and LAP forms for the Crack Cocaine and placed into
CHPD evidence locker. I also took a picture prior to placing into the locker. I placed the copy of all my
paper work in- custody.

MEETING DATE MARCH 5, 2018
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM:
Ordinance No. 1648, being and Ordinance amending City Code of 2005 relating to certain institutional
uses within the City of Columbia Heights.
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Elizabeth Holmbeck 1/25/18 BY /DATE:
CITY STRATEGY: #2: Economic Strength
Additional Strategy? N/A
SHORT TERM GOAL (IF APPLICABLE): N/A
Additional Goal? N/A
BACKGROUND:
Over the last several months, Community Development Staff have received inquiries regarding the
establishment of Religious Facilities, and K -12 Schools, in commercial areas of the City. The City Council asked
staff to look into how we can limit these types of institutional uses in commercially zoned areas. While there is
recognition that these types of uses are responding to a demand in the community, reducing future K -12
Schools, or Religious Facilities from locating on commercially zoned property, shouldn't have a significant
impact on meeting this demand.
Currently, both Religious Facilities and K -12 Schools are permitted in all five Residential Zoning Districts and
the Limited Business Zoning District. The attached draft Ordinance No. 1648, would remove K -12 Schools and
Religious Facilities as permitted (conditional) uses, from the Limited Business Zoning District. Both uses would
still be allowed in all residentially zoned areas with a Conditional Use Permit. Staff believes that this effort will
help to maintain the intent and purpose of the LB, Limited Business District, which according to the Columbia
Heights Zoning Code is to "provide appropriate locations for limited retail sales and services for the
convenience of adjacent residential neighborhoods ". It is important to note that staff is not proposing to
change where other types of schools such as a performing or visual arts or vocational and business schools can
locate.
RECOMMENDATION:
Removing Religious Facilities and K -12 Schools from the Limited Business Zoning District will help to enhance
the commercial nature of this district, by reserving these areas for commercial uses. While the Zoning Code
will still allow for these institutional uses in other areas of the City, it is essential that the City preserve and
encourage other types of commercial uses such as restaurants, and small and large retail to locate in these
areas. Staff would like to bring an ordinance before the City Council later in March or April and seeks input and
direction from the City Council regarding these proposed changes.

Ordinance No. 1647, Planned Unit Development District Discussion

CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Keith M. Dahl, February 27, 2018
BY /DATE:
CITY STRATEGY: #6: Excellent Housing /Neighborhoods
Additional Strategy? #7: Strong Infastructure /Public Services
SHORT TERM GOAL (IF APPLICABLE): N/A
Additional Goal? N/A
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbia Heights (the "City ") has had an extensive history with respect to Planned Unit
Development (Commonly referred to as "PUD ") Districts since 1974. Nevertheless, on May 29, 2001, the City
Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 1428, an ordinance which effectively repealed and replaced the
previous Zoning Ordinance of the City, but subsequently eliminated the PUD District.
The intent behind the elimination of the PUD District was for the newly created Mixed Use Development
(Commonly referred to as "MXD ") District to replace the traditional PUD District. However, over the years,
staff has determined that the MXD District is not adequately functioning how it was intended to function as a
strategy for the City to encourage flexible high - quality design for development and redevelopment projects.
Therefore, staff has drafted a proposed ordinance which would re- establish the PUD District so that the City
may attain a higher quality of design for future development and redevelopment projects throughout the
community.
A PUD District is generally described as a type of development or redevelopment that follows a separate
regulatory approval process which results in a development outcome that exceeds the typical development
achievable through the standard requirements of the primary zoning district.
The proposed ordinance attached was drafted to reflect the previous format of the PUD District eliminated by
Ordinance No. 1428, as well as to incorporate several new provisions that were identified by staff to be
applicable based on an evaluation of other PUD Districts in ten (10) different cities, specifically Brooklyn
Center, Fridley, Golden Valley, Hopkins, North St. Paul, Richfield, Robbinsdale, Roseville, St. Louis Park, and
West St. Paul.
Staff would like to facilitate a discussion in regards to the re- establishment of the PUD District and review the
proposed ordinance to obtain direction, feedback and comments from the City Council members.

1. Ordinance No. 1647 (5 Pages)
ORDINANCE NO. 1647
BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE OF 2005 RELATING TO ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT,
AND ESTABLISHING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITHIN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
The City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "City ") does ordain:
SECTION I: That Chapter 9, Article 1: Zoning and Land Development of City Code is hereby amended to read as
follows, to wit:
§9.113 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
§9,13 9.114 OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
§9,14 9.115 PUBLIC AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT.
§9,1ry 9.116 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS.
SECTION II: That Chapter 9, Article 1, Section 9.113: Planned Unit Development District shall hereafter read as
follows, to wit:
§9.113 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
(A) Purpose. The purpose of the PUD, Planned Unit Development District is to provide greater flexibility
with development and redevelopment; preserve historical, environmental, and aesthetically significant
features; promote a high quality of design; and encourage more technological and energy efficient
developments. This is achieved by undertaking a process that results in a development outcome that
exceeds the typical development achievable through standard zoning controls.
(B) General Provisions.
(1) Relationship to other applicable regulations.
(a) Property located within a PUD District shall be subject to the land use controls described in the
primary zoning district, as well as the rules and regulations prescribed in the PUD District plan.
Where the provisions of the primary zoning district and the PUD District plan are in conflict, the PUD
District plan shall govern.
(b) The PUD District plan review process, in accordance with the provisions of this section,
constitute and supersede the requirements set forth in §9.104, subdivision (N)(2).
(2) Right of application. Any person having a legal interest in the property may file an application for
the establishment of a PUD District to the Zoning Administrator.
(3) Authority. The City retains absolute authority and discretion to establish a PUD District, and
reserves the right to deny the establishment of a PUD District if the City Council determines that the
proposed benefits of the development do not justify the requested flexibilities of a PUD District.
(4) Administration. The administration and enforcement of this section shall be in accordance with the
provisions of §9.104.
Ordinance No. 1647
City of Columbia Heights —Ordinance 1647
Page 2
(5) Application. An application for establishment of a PUD District shall be filed with the Zoning
Administrator on the approved form and shall be accompanied by an application fee as set forth in
§9.104, subdivision (C)(5). An application shall include a narrative; a vicinity map; an accurately scaled
site plan showing the locations of proposed and existing buildings, existing and proposed topography,
vehicular access and parking areas, landscaping, and other site features; a stormwater management
plan; elevation views of all proposed buildings and structures; and any other information determined
by the Zoning Administrator to be necessary.
(6) Approval. Approval of a PUD District plan shall be by ordinance, a simple majority vote, and in full
force and effect from and after 30 days after its passage.
(7) Physical Development Contract. After City Council approval of a PUD District plan, a Physical
Development Contract shall be required prior to site development. The Physical Development Contract
shall reference all the approved plans and specify permitted uses; allowable densities; development
phasing if applicable; required public improvements; construction commencement and completion
dates of the minimum improvements; an irrevocable letter of credit, or cash deposit in an amount
sufficient to ensure the provision or development of public improvements; and any other requirements
determined by the Zoning Administrator to be necessary. The Physical Development Contract shall be
signed by the applicant or an authorized representative within sixty (60) days after its approval by City
Council.
(8) Time Limits. An established PUD District shall be validated by the construction commencement of
the minimum improvements pursuant to the Physical Development Contract. If the construction
commencement fails to meet the deadline specified in the Physical Development Contract, the
approval of the PUD District plan by the City Council shall be rendered invalid and void.
Notwithstanding the construction commencement time limitations, the City Council may, at its own
discretion, approve an extension by approval of an Amendment to the Physical Development Contract
if requested by the applicant in writing.
(C) Areas of Flexibility. Development flexibility provided through the establishment of a PUD District will
not be approved in avoidance of the regulations set forth by the primary zoning district. However, if a
development is able to achieve a higher quality of design, efficiency, and technology than what current
market conditions allow, the establishment of a PUD District will provide flexibility to the following areas:
(1) Building Heights.
(2) Building Materials
(3) Building and Parking Setbacks.
(4) Landscaping Requirements.
(5) Multiple Building Placement.
City of Columbia Heights —Ordinance 1647 Page 3
(6) Parking and Vehicular Requirements.
(7) Public Art Requirements.
(8) Public Spaces.
(9) Signage Requirements.
(10) Site Density.
(D) Review Procedure.
(1) Pre - application meeting. Prior to filing an application to the Zoning Administrator for the
establishment of a PUD District, the applicant shall meet with City staff for a pre - application meeting.
The primary purpose of the pre - application meeting is to allow the applicant and City staff to discuss
land use controls, appropriate uses of the site, specific development design standards, the application
process, and required information that shall be submitted with an application, as well as evaluate how
the development will achieve a higher quality of design, efficiency and technology.
(2) Development Review Committee. After filing a completed application, the Development Review
Committee, comprised of the Zoning Administrator, Building Official, Fire Chief, City Engineer, and
his /her appointee, shall conduct an administrative review of the application. All findings and
determinations by the Development Review Committee shall be forwarded to the Planning
Commission.
(3) Neighborhood Meeting. Prior to the consideration of a PUD District plan or a major amendment to
a PUD District plan by the Planning Commission, the applicant shall hold a Neighborhood Meeting
within City limits, and mail a notification of the Neighborhood Meeting to all property owners within
three hundred and fifty (350) feet surrounding the proposed PUD District. The purpose of the meeting
is to inform the neighborhood of the proposed development and obtain input from the affected
property owners.
(4) Planning Commission.
(a) Informal Public Hearing. The Planning Commission shall hold an informal public hearing for the
consideration of a completed application for the establishment of a PUD District in accordance with
the requirements of this section. The Planning Commission shall make the following findings of fact
before approving the establishment of a PUD District:
(i) The PUD District plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article.
(ii) The PUD District plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan.

City of Columbia Heights —Ordinance 1647
Page 4
(iv) The PUD District plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity
and the public right -of -way.
(b) Recommendation. The findings and recommendation of the Planning Commission shall be
forwarded to the City Council. The Planning Commission may impose conditions of recommended
approval or modifications to any PUD District plan, and require guarantees deemed necessary to
ensure compliance with the requirements of this section.
(5) City Council.
(a) Formal Public Hearing. The City Council shall hold a formal public hearing for the consideration
of a completed application for the establishment of a PUD District in accordance with the
requirements of this section.
(b) Action. The City Council shall review and consider the recommendations of the Planning
Commission, the Development Review Committee, and the public before approval or denial, in
whole or in part, is made for establishment of the PUD District. A denial shall only be based on
findings of fact that the PUD District plan is not in substantial compliance with the provisions of this
section or City Council determines that the proposed benefits of the development do not justify the
requested flexibilities of a PUD District.
(E) Amendments. An approved PUD District plan may not be changed or modified without prior approval
by City Council. A request for an amendment to an approved PUD District plan shall be submitted and
reviewed by the Zoning Administrator to determine if it is a minor or major amendment.
(a) Minor Amendments.
(i) An amendment shall be deemed minor in nature if a change or modification to the approved
PUD District plan increases or decreases a provision to be in conformance with the primary
zoning district; increases the density of units per acre or gross floor area in any structure by less
than equal to ten percent (10%); demolishes or adds an accessory structure; significantly alters
the original intent of the landscape plans or elevation views; or is not determined by the Zoning
Administrator to be major in nature.
(ii) A minor amendment shall be placed on the Consent Agenda of City Council without the
review by the Planning Commission. The City Council may remove the minor amendment from
the Consent Agenda for discussion before approval or denial.
(b) Major Amendments.
(i) An amendment shall be deemed major in nature if a change or modification to the approved
PUD District plan increases or decreases a provision to not be in conformance with the primary
zoning district; increases the density of units per acre or gross floor area in any structure by more
than ten percent (10%); demolishes or adds a principle structure; alters the placement of

buildings or roads; introduces a new use; decreases the amount of public spaces by more than
equal to three percent (3%) or alter it in such a way to change its original intent; creates a conflict
with the original conditions of recommended approval; eliminates, substantially diminishes, or
compromises the original intent of the PUD District as prescribed in subdivision (A) of this section;
or is not determined by the Zoning Administrator to be minor in nature.
(ii) A major amendment shall require the submittal of a revised PUD District plan to the Zoning
Administrator for full review and approval in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(F) Cancellations. An approved PUD District plan shall be cancelled and revoked only upon City Council
approving a resolution rescinding the PUD District. Cancellation of a PUD District plan shall include findings
of fact that demonstrate that the district is no longer necessary due to changes in local regulations;

or at the request of the applicant or assignee in writing.
This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after 30 days after its passage.
