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.

In case all of this sounds familiar. These targeted attacks aren't new in #MplsDowntown.

"If people tell you Downtown MPLS is safe they are lying or incredibly uninformed."

"If you hear that the state is effectively supplementing the MPD, it’s an exaggeration and ineffective."

--Scott Nadeau, former police officer and police chief

Dispatch audio from the time frame of this attack indicates police found the victim down outside of Augie's.

Here's our post indicating the victim down with a head injury (from the MFD dispatch to the incident).
.
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.

Why does @StarTribune ignore real reports of violence in #MplsDowntown? This is a serious question.
.
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. ImageImage
.
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.

This is how #MNmedia misleads you on crime statistics. Although the Geriatric Neighbor was doing a report on juvenile auto theft and how the current system isn't working to deter it, they quoted Hennepin County auto thefts this year at 475.

But they didn't tell you that DOESN'T include Minneapolis, which is sitting at 4300 auto thefts so far this year. It's a stunning number. Why won't they tell you?Image
Image
2/
In fact, looking at this closer, the number @UbahDAli and @WCCO listed in the screenshot above is NOT the number of auto thefts, but is the number only being PROSECUTED so far this year. So, COMPLETELY WRONG INFORMATION.

WCCO needs to do a retraction. Image
3/
So some editor/producer at lying @WCCO is so out of touch & lazy that they actually thought 475 auto thefts sounded like an accurate number, when there's been nothing but talk (here on Crime Watch, at least) about out of control auto thefts.

Lazy, weak, pathetic "journalism"
