STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause:
Your complainant is a licensed peace officer in the State of Minnesota and is employed by the Woodbury Police Department. In that capacity and after review of the reports, your complainant states the following to establish probable cause:
Beginning on November 4, 2014, RICHARD JAY HOLMES, dob 09/07/1982, the defendant herein, was required to register with the Minnesota BCA Predatory Offender Registration Unit due to a False Imprisonment conviction. On January 4, 2016, HOLMES registered as homeless in St. Paul, Minnesota and was advised in writing and in person that he was required to check in with the St. Paul Police Department on a weekly basis. HOLMES informed St. Paul Police Officer Cherry that he would be staying at the Union Gospel Mission on University Avenue East or a residence on Desoto Street in St. Paul. HOLMES did not provide any other primary or secondary addresses to St. Paul Police Department or the Minnesota BCA. HOLMES did not appear for his weekly check ins. Officer Cherry contacted HOLMES probation officer who advised HOLMES was not allowed to stay at the residence on Desoto and the Union Gospel Mission had informed HOLMES's probation officer that HOLMES was no longer staying there.
HOLMES was listed as non-complaint with his registration requirements. A warrant was also issued by the Minnesota Department of Corrections as HOLMES failed to show up for weekly check ins with his probation officer. During the next several months the Minnesota Department of Corrections Fugitive Apprehension Team developed information that HOLMES was likely residing at 313 Leeward Trail in the City of Woodbury, Washington County. Law enforcement confirmed that HOLMES had not registered this address as a primary or secondary residence on his BCA Predatory Offender Registration Forms.
On August 23, 2016, members of the Fugitive Apprehension Team were staked out in front of the Leeward Trail residence and observed HOLMES leave the residence and enter a vehicle in the driveway. Additional law enforcement personnel responded and HOLMES was apprehended in the driveway of the residence. K.A.A. exited the residence while law enforcement were on scene. K.A.A. is the known girlfriend of HOLMES. K.A.A. admitted that HOLMES had spent the night at the residence.
A second male, J.R.H. was apprehended inside the residence. Law enforcement obtained a search warrant for the residence. Upon walking through the residence the master bedroom appeared to be occupied by HOLMES and K.A.A as one of the night stands contained HOLMES wallet, I.D. and other personal property of HOLMES. J.R.H. informed law enforcement that HOLMES frequently stays overnight at the residence and had been staying at the residence for several days preceding his August 23rd arrest.
The State is requesting this issue as a complainant warrant as HOLMES is currently at the Washington County Jail pending resolution of a separate file.
