Michael Brett Judy was taken into custody after an hours-long stand-off on Thursday. He was released on Friday after supposedly posting $10,000 bond, and he makes his first court appearance on Monday.

Five 911 calls between Jan 3-5 reporting incidents and damage.

In one incident, a dumbbell struck the roof of an airport shuttle van with 7 passengers inside. A large dent was made, and the driver said he was "terrified." The weight landed above one of the passengers.

Complaint: "dumbbell could cause great bodily harm or death."

Ramsey County plea deal and a downward departure on sentencing leaves Green Line LRT shooter Jacquez Jamarr Green FREE after being charged with attempted murder and 2nd degree assault.

Because Minnesota and @MNCourts are totally serious about gun crime.

Roger J. Wells was convicted in Aug 2021 for the 2nd time in 6 years on felon/possession/gun.
Sentenced to 60 mos.
HOWEVER, sentence was stayed by Judge Reynaldo A. Aligada, Jr.
Wells died in a high-speed traffic crash on Mon.
If @MNCourts had done their job, he’d be alive. Image
58b/
Roger Wells was also charged in November with four counts related to DWI and driving after revocation.

Yet, he was not probation violated on the gun case even though the terms of his probation prohibited alcohol/drug use and required him to remain law abiding.

Double Fail.

In a 2019 conviction on 1st degree burglary, a plea deal dismissed 3 counts of felon in possession/firearm & another ct of 1st degree burglary & spun him out on a stayed sentence for the violent crime of 1st degree burglary.

MN is totally serious about gun and violent crimes.

Hopkins police on Friday arrested a suspect in two separate burglaries of occupied dwellings.

We've previously posted Efrain Almestica, 08/23/1988, who was booked on 12 felony + other warrants. New charges are expected in the Hopkins burglaries.
.
2/
You will recall Efrain Almestica from this classic video when he rammed into a Bloomington apartment building while trying to flee police late last year.
.

3/
That Bloomington case is one of the open felony/other warrants under which Almestica has been jailed, among numerous other cases from Edina, Richfield, Minneapolis and Minnetonka involving multiple burglary, multiple fleeing, auto theft and obstruction.

OMFG.
Remember Brandon David Miller who, while acting as a 'violence interrupter' for We Push for Peace, beat a shoeless homeless man outside a St. Paul grocery store last fall...
2/
He was sentenced on Tuesday.

In a downward departure from sentencing guidelines, Miller's 27-month prison sentence was stayed by Judge George T. Stephenson.

He was instead sentenced to probation... DESPITE...
...
3/
... DESPITE the fact that Miller was charged in another felony assault case in December (occurred Oct. 31) that left the victim with serious injuries.

That case is still open/pending and would have/should have been known to the judge at the time of sentencing.

Oh, a violent predatory offender with 17 prior convictions including 6 felonies is in custody on probable cause murder.

Jeffrey Velt Stanley Murray, DOB: 09.22.1986

If only there were some predictor of behavior.

#3StrikesMN for violent and repeat offenders.

Murray was also just charged in July with being a felon in possession of a firearm and vehicle theft.

Charges say he was pulled over for a "minor traffic stop" when it was discovered he was in a stolen vehicle and a loaded gun was found.

Despite Murray's violent and predictable history, Murray was offered bail and was released from custody the day after being charged in that case.

Now here he is.

End bail for violent and repeat offenders, MN.
