Former Maplewood Public Safety Director Scott Nadeau.
His son was assaulted by the phone thieves Friday night in #MplsDowntown. (We posted about the thieves last night - it's a regular occurrence).
The son is hospitalized with a brain bleed, skull fractures. #SeeYouDowntown
.
Police also indicated that they had a vehicle towed from a nearby parking lot that they believed was related to several of the phone thefts that night.

As far as we can tell, only one mainstream #MNmedia outlet reported on this story (and a pseudo mainstream MNmedia aggregator), and it wasn't Star Tribune.
.
Kevron Detrell Williams Gray, 09/27/2003, of St. Paul has been charged in the attack on Jack Nadeau and in another aggravated robbery the following night at bar close in the same location. He's facing 4 felonies between the two cases. He remains in custody.
.
Jamarcus Robert Tucker, 05/23/2001, St Paul.
Also charged with several felonies related to the #MplsDowntown cell phone thefts. Charges say he and Williams-Gray often perpetrated the scheme together.
.
.
Kicker: Jamarcus Robert Tucker is a self-admitted "gang banger" and SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN PRISON, but TWO felony gun related charges in two separate cases were dismissed in a Ramsey County plea deal in Dec '21/Jan '22. He was spun out with time served.

Wanna see a free clown show? The Minneapolis City Council is once again trying to constrain the eviction of drug encampments by kneecapping a public safety response to eliminating them. If an encampment is eventually evicted, ordinance authors want to require the city to set up storage for the debris left behind. Public commentary to ensue at link below.

2/ Twelve of the tens-of-thousands of reasons Minneapolis will never stop circling the toilet bowl.
You will recall, earlier this week Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara held a press conference about ICE activity and Somalis where he urged people to call 911 if they see masked agents because they could be "kidnapping" someone. Here: x.com/CrimeWatchMpls…
Yesterday morning, community activist and former cop Lisa Clemons made a big post on her FB page questioning the chief's comment and suggesting it not only puts cops in danger, but seems to be preferential treatment for Somalis, when the same ramped up actions weren't suggested in the recent past when ICE was in town for Hispanics (truncated below).
THEN, late last night, the wife of police chief Brian O'Hara, Wafiyyah (who doesn't even live in this state) jumped on Lisa's post and told her to "grow up" and that she was spreading "lies" about O'Hara and that Lisa was "part of the problem," when we all saw what he said in the video.
Stay tuned, there's going to be more...
2/ NEW, Lisa Clemons has commented on our post claiming that Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara called her a "clown."
3/ NEW ONLY ON CRIME WATCH, we've obtained a screenshot from a source of the text message from Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to community activist and former cop Lisa Clemons calling her a clown last night, after she reasonably questioned his recent comments about ICE.
U of M Twin Cities: On Thursday, September 18, 2025, at approximately 8:44 p.m., a UMPD supervisor reported hearing gunshots near Rapson Hall.
At the time, a student group event with an estimated 300 attendees was taking place inside the building.
Officers arrived on scene and started to search the area. There are no reported victims.
Out of an abundance of caution, please stay away from the area while UMPD and law enforcement partners continue their investigation.
2/ Police response units to the shots fired at University of Minnesota UMN.
3/ The UMN student newspaper Minnesota Daily reports that the apparent shoot-out before 9 p.m. took place outside Rapson Hall where the Somali Student Association (SSA) kick-off event was taking place. One person was reportedly grazed by a bullet. mndaily.com/295380/top-sto…
South Minneapolis - Another possible mass shooting. Multiple injured parties. Reportedly at/near an encampment near E Lake St and 28th Ave S, in @MplsWard9.
Developing.
2/ At least 7 injured parties so far, in the 2nd mass shooting in Minneapolis today, fourth in 3 weeks.
At least one critical with a GSW to the head.
3/ Now a report of tents on fire at the site of the mass shooting in south Minneapolis at an encampment at 28th and E Lake St.
Injuries so far: one shot in the head, some shot in the legs/lower extremities, one shot in the neck.
#ThisIsMinneapolis
South Minneapolis - About 8 a.m., female was carjacked at gunpoint at 2xx E Lake by a BM, 40s, with dreads. A dog was in the black VW Passat taken, and the suspect was seen abusing the dog and was ramming other vehicles.
One person said they were shot at.
Listed on the 911 dashboard as a person with a gun.
The carjacked vehicle then became involved in a chase in north Minneapolis, and then crashed with another vehicle in a rollover at Penn and Olson Memorial Hwy. Of four injured parties, two were declared deceased in the vehicle that was struck in a "significant impact." There was also a child critically injured in the vehicle that was struck.
2/ WHEN it turns out that the suspect is a repeat offender that's been spun through the revolving door multiple times, EVERY PROSECUTOR AND JUDGE THAT SLAPPED HIS WRIST NEEDS TO GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
3/ @MinneapolisOCS AND @MinneapolisPD, stop lying to the public by omission. REVERSE ENCRYPTION. The public has a right to know what an utter dangerous sh*t show this city is.
