STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause: Complainant and/or Signing Officer designated below, declares under penalty of perjury, that he/she has reviewed police reports relating to the above-named Defendant and the allegations contained herein, and/or has spoken with peace officers having knowledge of the incident, and based upon that information, believes the following to be true and correct. On January 15, 2019, at around 11:50 a.m. two black males entered the Premier Bank located at 112 East 5th Street in the City of Northfield, County of Rice, State of Minnesota. The men were wearing high visibility vests, hats and had face masks that partially covered their faces. The men had pistols. There were four people in the bank, one customer and three staff. One of the males yelled at customers and staff to "put your hands up." One of the men was waving a gun and then told everyone to get down on the floor. An employee was starting to lay on the floor when she was told to get behind the teller line. She was told to keep her face down and not look at him. The man yelled "Don't fuck with me if you want to get out alive." The employee was told to go and get hundreds and not get any funny money. The men were described as a heavyset male about 6'1" or 6'2" and approximately 240-250 pounds. There was a thinner, shorter man described as being in his 30s. One of the men attempted to restrain a bank customer with a zip tie. The employee said the thinner man held a gun on her and told her to put the money in a backpack. She complied and placed an undisclosed amount of cash in the backpack. The two men went out the back door. Officers retrieved surveillance video from a number of local businesses. Based on the video they were able to identify a Black four door Pontiac Grand Prix with dull wheels in the area at the time. The vehicle was seen in the area at approximately 11:33, and again at about 11:53. In the later footage, the car is seen heading West on East Sixth Street turning North on Water Street and then West on Highway 19. The Minnesota State Patrol reviewed traffic management camera and found several frames of the vehicle heading north on I 35. The vehicle was noted on I-35 between 12:15 and 12:26 p.m. At 12:26 the Grand Prix is seen exiting to 494 Eastbound. At 12:28 the Grand Prix exited on to Portland then headed east on East 78th Street. 3
Based on information from another bank robbery in a neighboring county, the officers obtained a possible plate number and found it registered to 2004 Black Pontiac Grand Prix, that car was registered to an address on East 80th Street, roughly three quarters of a mile from where the Grand Prix was last seen on traffic cameras. Based on information from other departments, officers also knew that Deandre Dontal McGowan (DOB 8-15-1985) might be found at the apartment. Officers obtained a search warrant in Hennepin County and searched the residence on East 80th Street and the Grand Prix. In the search, the officers located U.S. Currency of over $800. A Glock 19 case with two magazines, a letter from the Ramsey county Sheriff addressed to McGowan, 9mm ammunition, a black knit hat, a single black glove, a black backpack with 5 zip ties inside, assorted ammunition, a Glock 9mm 30 round magazine loaded, black hoodie sweatshirt, bag of zip ties, a Glock 23 case, a Glock 19, keys for the Pontiac Grand Prix, 4 iphones, other electronic devices, and other items including clothing consistent with the security video and the descriptions provided by the bank employees, customers, and with the security video. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49., intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court. 4
