STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE Petitioner states that the following facts establish probable cause: On August 4, 2013, at approximately 23:40 hours, St. Paul police officer Dan Michener was in his squad leaving the East District Office located at Payne and Reaney Avenues in St. Paul, Ramsey County, when he was hailed by a man who told him that there was a large fight going on in the street nearby. Officer Michener drove to the area of Minnehaha and Payne. There were approximately 40-50 juveniles and young adults in the area. Many of whom ran as he approached in his squad car. He saw a male on ground. His legs and arms were spread out and he was lying on his back. His pants were off and his shirt torn. He had blood coming from his nose and mouth and was unresponsive. Medics were called to the scene. The man, later identified as R.D.W., age 26 yrs, was taken to Regions hospital. He was admitted and found to have severe and potentially fatal brain swelling. As of August 8th, the prognosis for recovery is slight and should he live, he will suffer permanent and protracted loss of brain function. St. Paul police officers assisting Officer Michener, identified several persons who were present in the vicinity where R.D.W. was found. Among the persons interviewed by homicide detectives, was a young woman (witness 1) who told police that she had been present at a party at an address of Preble near Minnehaha Ave. in St. Paul on August 4. She described that some girls at the party started fighting outside and that everyone went outside to watch the fight. She saw numerous people from the party fighting. While this was happening, a young white male walked into the crowd. She described seeing a person she identified as Bay Bay hit the man to the head, knocking him down. She saw the man hit the ground hard and his head was bleeding. A second man that she described as having short dreads, wearing a white T-shirt began hitting and stomping on the man. Another man began pulling the mans pants off. Witness 1 said that the man was hit and beaten for no reason. She believed that the young males hitting, beating and stripping the man were either East Side Boyz or Ham Crazy because she kept hearing them say East Side Boyz or H and M. Witness 1 identified the person who first struck R.D.W. as Bay-Bay. Bay Bay has been identified as C.R, a juvenile male. C.R. was arrested in connection with the assault, beating and robbery of R.D.W. on August 7th, 2013. Having been given the Miranda Advisory, C.R. admitted that he was at the party but denied having knowledge of any fights. He stated that he was maced and heard a bunch of yelling. On the night of the incident, he was wearing a black shirt. He denied assaulting a man. He also denied having a Facebook page and having a nickname. Witness 1 was also shown a photo taken from a bus video which was recorded on August 4, 2013. Upon review of the photo, she identified the male in the photo as the person who was jumping on the mans face. This male was later identified as CINDARION DEANGELO BUTLER, d.o.b. 11/05/1996. Cindarion Butler was arrested in connection with the assault, beating and robbery of R.D.W. on August 7, 2013. Having been given the Miranda Advisory, Cindarion Butler denied being present at the party. He claimed that he was home on the night of this incident. Sgt. Paul Dunnom showed him the still photo taken from a bus video recorded on August 4, 2013. He denied being the male in the photo. Sgt. Dunnom, however, observed that he strongly resembled the physical descriptions of the male in the photo, and that the pants he had on matched the pants worn by the male in the photo. Specifically, Sgt. Dunnom observed that Cindarion Butlers pants cut off just below the knee and there was a tear in the pants at the right knee that matched the pants in the photo. In a subsequent interview

on August 8, 2013, Cindarion Butler allowed Sgt. Lambie to look in his phone and his Facebook. Bay Bay Shystey Lord was listed as a friend on Cindarion Butlers Facebook account. A video taken from Bus #7153 (Route 64) on August 4, 2013 shows Cindarion Butler with two females boarding the bus at 23:54:15 hours at Edgerton Street and Reaney Avenue. Cindarion Butler is seen wiping his eyes and one of the females can be heard saying she got maced. Cindarion Butler proceeds to the back of the bus and sits by himself. The two females sit nearby Cindarion Butler. At 23:55:30, one of the females tell Cindarion Butler, you was fighting with him, you got blood and sh** on your shoes. Cindarion Butler then looks at his shoes (white tennis shoes) and wipes them. A female is also heard saying, yeah, thats blood. Another witness (witness 2) interviewed by the police on August 6th, described being at the party on Preble and later out in the street around 23:30 hours, when there were girls fighting. This witness described seeing a white male assaulted who had walked into the area. She thought the first person who struck him had hit him with a can in a sock. The man went down and a whole bunch of little eastside boys began to kick the man. She saw someone take his wallet and strip him of his pants. This witness described trying to protect the man from the numerous people kicking him. Another witness (witness 3) was interviewed by police on August 6th. This witness described being outside of 7xx Preble watching some girls fighting. This witness saw a white male walking into the crowd. This man was struck in the head and then kicked, stomped on and stripped by a bunch of people. Being shown a still picture of a person obtained from cell or i-phones from the night of August 4th, labeled picture #3017, this witness stated that person, had stomped on the man. Picture #3017 is a picture of Issac ONeal Maiden, d.o.b. 4/29/1994. Issac Maiden was arrested in connection with the assault, beating and robbery of R.D.W. on August 7th, 2013. Having been given the Miranda Advisory, Issac Maiden told Sgt. Lambie that he had been at the party on Preble on August 4, 2013, but left when someone had maced him. He denied assaulting a man. A witness described a person present as macing the assailants to try and stop the assault. Over the course of this investigation, shoes have been taken from several suspects. These sheos will be processed for the presence of any latent evidence. Based on a 9 pt. gang criteria, Issac Maidan and C.R., are known members of the Ham Crazy gang. The East Side Boys is a known and notorious active gang in the City of St. Paul. This gang meets the definition of a criminal gang as set forth in Minn. Stat. 609.229, Subd. 1. The Ham Crazy gang consists of members who affiliate with the East Side Boyz and are commonly found associating at gang parties. The beating and robbing of R.D.W. is a crime committed in furtherance of, for the benefit of and/or in association with a criminal gang.
